Name of article:
TRENDS OF SUFFIXATION OF FEMININE GENDER NAMES (RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES)
The article presents the results of the study of naming women in Russian and English linguistic systems. The word-formative features of feminine agentives are revealed on the basis of analyzing the corresponding suffixes and their functioning in both languages. The suffixal paradigm of the past is compared with the word-formation meaning of modern suffixes. At the same time, the corresponding tendencies of word-formation of feminine gender names are revealed. The study of such a linguistic phenomenon as feminatives is relevant, as it is a vivid example of language adaptation to modern cultural challenges.
The materials were selected with the help of the National Corpus of the Russian Language, as well as articles from various mass media. The material for analyzing English-language agents is English dictionaries, as well as the parallel corpus of the National Corpus of the Russian Language. The methods of automatic sampling, comparative and contextual analysis were used in the article.
It is established that the use of word-forming suffixes has a tendency to pollination of norms and unification of their meaning. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the suffixes of the Russian language, which participated in the word-formation of feminine agentives in the 20th - early 21st centuries, have regained their relevance, while similar suffixes of the English language, on the contrary, have lost their relevance.
Russian and English names of woman have undergone various changes. Presumably, the development of feminine agentives is not complete, especially for Russian, whose suffixal system is more productive.
