Inserting into the necessary regime of functioning, these ways of wordformation
differ from the common language (as well as other functionally
marked) ways by their productivity and forms of the realization. The given
precondition is based on the statement about the specificity of the display of the
language typological parameters in different styles of speech [Jacobson 1966] ,
[Bergelson 1990] and others.
A survey of the works on word-formation in Lezgian (Gaidarov 1966,
Suleimanov 2000, etc.) permits to consider that in this language, qualified as
agglutinative with the elements of inflexion, the most widely spread types of
word-building are suffixation and borrowing, prefixation and word-composition
are used approximately in the equal degree, formation of non-free wordcombinations
and semantic derivation are the next by productivity, abbreviation
and other types of word-formation are not very much in use.
As a result of the word-building analysis of Lezgian colloquialisms we
came to the conclusion, that there is a different correlation between the
employed ways of word-formation. The majority of colloquial units are formed
by means of different means of word-composition. Compare the following pairs
of stylistically neutral and colloquial synonyms :
a) semantic composition (фад ‘soon’ – гила-мад “now + more”; рузи
‘food’ – фу-яд “bread + water”; мирес ‘relative’ – хва-стха “son + brother”;
кIватIал ‘meeting’, ‘crowd of people’ – гада-базар “boy + market” хизан,
килфет ‘family’ – паб-аял “wife + child”, etc.),
b) reduplication (яхдиз ‘on foot’ – кIвачи-кIвачи; са гужалди ‘hardly’,
еле-еле’ – чIар-чIар; къастунай ‘on purpose’ – чиз-чиз and others),
c) false reduplication, including a sound complex, which doesn’t exist in
the language independently (кьулуьбур ‘small things’ – куьлуь-шуьлуь; луту
‘swindler’ – луту-пту; къал ‘row’ – къал-макъал; аял ‘child’ – аял-куял;
алвер ‘trade, commerce’ – алиш-вериш and others ),
d) mixed way, containing reduplication and suffixation (чидай
‘acquaintance’ – чирхчир; низамлудиз ‘periodical’ – вахт-вахтунда; суалар
‘questions’ – жузун-качузун, etc.) .
A considerable number of Lezgian colloquialisms are formed by means
of borrowing from the Russian language. The peculiarity of the realization of
this type of word-formation consists in adapting the borrowed words to the
pronunciation and other norms of the Lezgian colloquial speech, on the one
