Back-formation in the newest layer of English vocabulary

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The object of the study is a description and analysis of the process of back-formation over the last three decades, i.e. from the 1980s to the present time. The investigation of 68 newest back-formed words, found in contemporary English dictionaries andlinguistic literature is based on a typology established by Esko V. Pennanen, to which another three categories have been added. The research has shown that some of the long-lasting tendencies persist even in the contemporary and so the most dynamic phase of the time period investigated. This is, e.g., prevalence of verbs formed from action nouns, decreasing share of adjectives formed from nouns, disappearing of inflectional back-formations, and occurrence of a higher number of stylistically neutral words than stylistically marked ones. On the other hand, in contrast to the previous situation when compound back-formations were increasing in occurrence, the new sample contains a higher number of simple and monomorphemic words.
