Summary/Abstract: The most general concept in Miloš Dokulil’s theory of word-formation is the idea of ‘onomasiological category’. But one of the most cogent parts of his theory, unfortunately one which has left little significant imprint on research in word-formation and its description, is the theory of productivity. In this brief survey, I concentrate on Miloš Dokulil’s distinguishing between empirical productivity and systemic productivity.
