The distribution of affixes in contrastive studies

Summary/Abstract: Word-fonnation has often been neglected in foreign language teaching although its usefulness in learning and building up vocabulary is indisputable. Contrastive studies, dependent on the needs of teaching methods,should also consider word-formatlon as a possible subject and introduce in into practice of language beaching. Some of the studies dealing with this subject should be devoted to particular affixes which exist in several languages, especially in those which are similar in sound and function. Such affixes are present not only within the same family of languages but also in other languages as a consequence of international exchange of lexical items. Contrastive studies of particular affixes should also deal with their distribution which affects their use in individual languages. The present paper aims at describing an affix distribution. An example of such an affix is a noun suffix -ist(a) used in German, Russian and Polish.
