FORMATION OF A GERMAN SUBSUFFIX -SUCHT

Abstract

Along with the conventional word-formation models in the German language, subderivation is becoming increasingly significant. Subaffixes are formed from the content word on the basis of lexemes polysemy. The present article is devoted to the consideration of process of transition of a German noun Sucht into a derivational morpheme and to the semantic analysis of arising formations. The empirical materials of research have been obtained from Deutsche Welle, NetDoktor, Jetzt web sites, as well as from the M.D. Stepanova and G. Mutman dictionaries. The basic methods of the research work are the following: the component analysis, the lexical-semantic analysis, transformational, a method of determination of internal valence. The result of research is the identification of fact that the noun Sucht partially loses its meaning while retaining keeping phonetic and semantic links with the initial word; it gets suffix function; it is even more often used at formation of subderivativesthan in the independent use. The materials of the research work can be used in the course of learning German language, at the practical training in oral speech, and also in the course of lexicology, general and aspect lexicography.
