Summary/Abstract: The article compares two Slavic languages – Serbian and Ukrainian – in terms of the distribution of formants expressing the intensity category. The analysis, in which the semantic word-formation methodology was applied, concerns derivatives with formants strengthening the meaning of word-formation roots. Findings showed that between the two languages there are quite clear differences in connectivity of formants with word-formation roots of derivative lexemes, while similarities concern primarily the distribution of formants of foreign origin.
