ON THE QUESTION OF STUDYING RUSSIAN WORD FORMATION AS A SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINE

Abstract

In this article, the author examines the features of the word formation of the modern Russian language from the point of view of both a scientific discipline and its study. The author defines the concepts of "Derivatology" as a branch of linguistics, its appearance and development in the system of modern Russian. The word-formation subsystems of the language and different approaches are described: synchronic and diachronic. These aspects were considered purely individually or mixed – synchronously-diachranically.
