WORD FORMATION IN THE RESEARCH BY KRYSTYNA DŁUGOSZ-KURCZABOWA

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the output of Krystyna Długosz-Kurczabowa in the area of word formation. In her studies on this subject matter, the researcher took up the issue of the function of formants, methods of enriching lexis by way of word-formation derivation and, above all, adaptation of formants of foreign origin to the Polish language. She pointed to their productivity, synonymic relations with Polish or foreign formants as well as the meaning and longevity of specific derivatives. The author’s studies written in cooperation with Stanisław Dubisz, such as the inclusion of word formation in an academic handbook for historical grammar of Polish, are also discussed. Word formation descriptions in linguistic characteristics of particular oldest written texts, i.e. Bogurodzica (The Mother of God) and Konfesja sandomierska (The Sandomierz confession), are also mentioned.
