Summary/Abstract: The article describes the works focusing on word-formation and morphology published in Slovenská reč during the ninety years of the existence of the journal. The first part pays attention to contributions focused on normative activity (in the first two decades). The most prominent author in this period was Belo Letz. A significant turning point were the 1950s and the articles by Ján Horecký, who fundamentally shifted the understanding of word-formation and developed the first consistent word-formation theory in Slovak linguistics. In the following period up to the present day, attention was paid to all important aspects of word-formation (derivation, compounding, word-formation of nouns, adjectives, verbs and other parts of speech, word-formation and terminology, morpho-phonology, proper names, dialects). The final part is devoted to morphemics.
