THE ADVERBIAL TWO-COMPONENT SUFFIXAL FORMANTS OF THE STRUCTURE «VOWEL+ VOICELESS CONSONANT» IN THE MODERN LITERARY UKRAINIAN

Abstract

This article deals with the peculiarities of forming the lexico-grammatical category of adverbs with the help of twocomponent suffixes of the structure «vowel+consonant», which are extremely active in the formation of inflexible contentive words in the modern Ukrainian language. The research of the positional properties of these suffixal units in the process of the adverbs formation has allowed us to clarify the mechanism of their realization and to single out the principles of its functioning. Also, there have been determined the regularities of the phonemic content of these suffixal structures, where the class of voiceless consonants in the position after the vowel is the most active in their formation. It has been determined the inventory of vowel and consonant phonemes of two-component suffixes, among which the high frequency is extremely characteristic of the phonemes |о| and |ч|. It has also been determined that the study of the phonemic composition of a suffixal morpheme is
very important for the solution of the problem regarding the working out of the typology of sound structures of the suffixes of different parts of speech, in particular, the adverb, which in its turn is necessary for a deep characteristics of the specificity of inflexible contentive words. Due attention has been paid to distributive characteristics of these suffixes, their productiveness, and statistical analysis as a part of inflexible contentives, which reveals the peculiarity of this lexico-grammatical category and its exceptional phono-morphological potential as a meaningful part of speech.
