Summary/Abstract: In the article, the word-formational semantics of noun derivatives in Proto-Slavic is discussed. The word-formational meaning of a noun derivative is, from the synchronic point of view, determined by its word-formational base (verbal root, verb, adjective or noun) as well as by the non-structural noun suffix, which conveys at least one word-formational meaning. The noun suffixes with multiple meaning are analysed from the perspective of semantic change, i.e. the direction of semantic widening of a single noun suffixe is adduced, when syncronically descernable.
