Summary/Abstract: The article studies the derivational semantics of Latin and Old High German derived substantives in the parallel text of Tatian’s Gospel Harmony. Based on a contrastive analysis of derivational categories, we determine lacunas in the Old High German word-formation semantics and the ways of their linguistic compensation. We show that the Latin language had a wider range of word-formation meanings in the system of substantives compared to the Old High German language, where derivational lacunas were compensated by the means of stem composition.
