Summary/Abstract: The author of this paper concisely presents a project which is carried out in the Institute of Slavistics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The project embraces all major Balkan languages. Most participants in the project come from Poland and from the Republic of Macedonia. Its main task is to identify the most common patterns of word formation in the Balkan languages. These patterns are regarded as “mirrors” or as transformations of syntactic structures (predicate–argument structures).
