Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the question whether it is possible to combine 1) two prefixes with opposite meaning (and distinct form) and 2) two prefixes with identical meaning (and identical form) in one expression. I will argue that the combination of two prefixes with opposite meaning is quite seldom in both verbal and non-verbal expressions. Two prefixes of identical form usually may not have identical meaning when attached to verbs. In the case of substantive and adverbial derivatives, however, such combinations are very possible.
