| Abstract: |
Neoclassical formatives are elements that occur in neoclassical word formations such as ortho and paed(o) in orthopaedic. We can be
sure that a separate system of neoclassical word formation is in place when we find words such as ơrthopaedic that use classical
elements but cannot have been borrowed from a classical language, because the concept they refer to did not exist yet. However, it must
be taken into account that such words can also have been borrowed from a modern language that has such a system. In the
lexicographic treatment of neoclassical word formation, a central question is whether neoclassical formatives should be treated in
separate entries. We investigated how different English and Russian dictionaries treat them. In order to arrive at an unbiased sample of
formatives, we used a Catalan word formation dictionary.
The results of our investigation support the hypothesis that neoclassical word formation constitutes a separate system in English, but
not in Russian. This means that in English neoclassical formatives should have entries. In electronic dictionaries they can usefully be
connected to the full class of words they appear in. In Russian, neoclassical formations are borrowings from languages such as English
or French and their internal structure belongs to the domain of etymology. |
