Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the evaluative nominal derivatives from contrastive point of view. The focus is given to neologisms or occasionalisms that are on the whole semantically opaque, whose derivative base is constituted by proper names and which show mostly identical suffixes, primarily Latinate, in the both languages. The aim of the analysis is to investigate the derivative schemes referring to the suffixes in the both languages as well as the extent to which the suffixes influence the derivatives from the perspective of their internationalization. The other searching aspect is set to compare the meaning of the derivatives that are underlined by different morphological structures, taking into account their semantic analogy.
