ABSTRACT
Introduction: combinations from one to four word formative suffixes are found in Erzya language in one derivative. The main part of suffixal derivatives is the derivatives of the first and second level. Derivatives of three and four word formative suffixes are rare. In this article it is necessary to identify the ratio of derivatives of different order and to determine the circumstances on which the joining of suffixes to the producing bases depends.
Objective: lies in the detailed description of the compatibility of derivational suffixes in derivatives of Erzya language.
Research materials: Erzya-Russian dictionaries and works of fiction literature. While preparing the article, the author used scientific works on word formation by domestic and foreign researchers.
Results and novelty of research: the process of formation of new words through word formative suffixes is associated with restrictions that create barriers for connecting of suffixes with derivatives. In the course of the analysis of the language material it was established that the compatibility of suffixes is influenced by semantic, formal, word formative and lexical restrictions. Taking into account these restrictions, we had analyzed the compatibility of morphemes in word-formation models transmitting modification, mutational and transposition word-formation relations. The analysis showed that each type of word-formation relations is presented only in a certain type of connection. The quantity of word-formation models in the types of connection, as well as the frequency of use of suffixes in derivatives, has their restrictions. Thus, it was determined that the number of levels in derivatives depends on the general system of word-formation relations in the language, as well as on the interaction of certain types of connection between the parts of speech.
Key words: ford-formation, combinability, derivative, word formative suffix, level, word-formation model, type of connection, productivity.
