Словообразувателна активност и семантични особености на названията на частите на човешкото тяло в немския и българския език (въз основа на „Kopf“, „Haupt“, „глава“)
Word Formation Activity and Semantic Peculiarities of The Names of the Human Body Parts in German and Bulgarian (Based on “Kopf”, “Haupt”, “Head”)

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the word-formation productivity of simple (primary) nouns on the basis of body part lexemes such as the German Kopf, Haupt and the Bulgarian глава. The analysis focuses on word-formation nests/paradigms, comprising constructions of various structural complexity. They all share a common stem, namely the aforementioned body part lexemes. The study outlines major semantic patterns which denote ways of nomination, possible interpretations of the meaning of word-formative constructions, as well as differences in the productivity of body part vocabulary in the process of forming new nouns, adjectives and verbs in German and Bulgarian.
