Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the study is determining factors in the word formation deciding on deverbal characteristics of dialectal nominal derivates. In the introduction, basing on the definition of structural meaning of word, the author adopts a set of characteristics taken into consideration while determining active character of derivative nouns. Among them we list: 1) verbal type of morphological basis, with particular attention to its function in derivative process, 2) semantic function of derivates described in relations with the meaning of the bases, 3) a set of derivative features, 4) morphological categories pinpointed in the study. The set criteria (1–4) refer to all the formations, which, even in their structure, show links to the meanings of actions (primary/formal deverbatives), but also those, which might be referred to as ‘secondary deverbatives’ due to their active character presented merely in semantic relations with the meanings of nominal bases (2–4).
