Paradygmat słowotwórczy jako jednostka badań konfrontatywnych

Abstract

The present paper addresses the issue of the confrontative analysis of Russian and Polish morphology. Central to the analysis is the morphological paradigm of Russian and Polish adjectives denoting colour. Adopting a confrontative approach is of assistance in determining the rules governing the morphological systems of the languages undergoing analysis in terms of the discrepancies and the analogies that can be drawn between them. The analysis of specific paradigms makes it possible to discern those formants of morphological categories which are characteristic of each of the analysed languages. Within this framework, it is feasible to define the activity of every morphological type and to determine synonymous and homonymic morphological morphemes. The research focusing on typical paradigms facilitates the perception of systematic differences. Moreover, such an approach makes it possible to determine potential derivative groups, i.e. those which are not listed in dictionaries and thus do not constitute a part of a given paradigm.
