Sažetak
This final paper deals with word-formation in English and Russian. It analyzes differences, as well as similarities, between various word-formation processes in the aforementioned languages and explains the semantic, syntactic and prosodic features of new words. Moreover, an overview of basic notions needed for the study is introduced in order to offer a better understanding of morphemes and the classification of affixes in Russian and English. Furthermore, word-formation in English is further explained by analyzing affixational (suffixation, prefixation, infixation and multiple affixation) and non-affixational (conversion, truncation, blending, abbreviation and compounding) processes while providing examples. Finally, word-formation in Russian is introduced as well, and expounded by analyzing morphological (suffixation, prefixation, postfixation, multiple affixation, compounding and univerbation) and non-morphological (abbreviation, conversion and fusion) processes.
