Ľudovít Novák, Juraj Furdík, Miloš Dokulil and Onomasiological Inspiration

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with some aspects concerning semantics of word-formation, i.e. the onomasiological structure of a motivated word. It provides comments on three concepts introduced by Slovak and Czech linguists (Ľ. Novák, J. Furdík and M. Dokulil). Novák’s theses on axiomatics of semiology of linear structures (ternarity of linear structure and the various relations among its components: a beginning – a middle – an end) were adopted into wordformation theory by Furdík. He postulates ternarity of the onomasiological structure of each motivated word (ternarity in terms of onomasiological base – onomasiological connective – onomasiological mark). His approach was also influenced by Dokulil’s theory of word-formation. In the paper special attention is paid to the middle component, the onomasiological connective, and to the relationship between lexical and word-formational meaning.
