WORDS WITH INTERFIX -Ø- (THE ZERO INTERFIX) IN THE SERBIAN LANGUAGE

Author(s): Dragana M. Ratković
Subject(s): Theoretical Linguistics, Semantics, South Slavic Languages, Philology
Published by: Матица српска
Keywords: Interfix; Serbian language;

Summary/Abstract: The work represents a derivational and semantic analysis of the words with a zero interfix in the contemporary Serbian language in accordance with a conceptual and terminological apparatus of the modern Slavic derivatology. The author also claims that the zero interfix, like differentia specifica of the words formed by composition, occurred in the Serbian language very early - at the end of the XII century, whereas this derivational model itself of the words with a zero interfix is very productive - suitable because of economy, the words of this type are subject to expansion by borrowing from other languages, primarily from the English language (e.g. pank moda, boks-meč, Pres-centar etc.).
