Abstract:
Discussions about the place of word formation in the linguistic paradigm are still
taking place today. Some linguists consider word formation to be part of morphology,
others – part of lexicology, and others consider it an independent discipline. However,
in modern linguistics, there are more and more studies confirming the autonomy of
word formation. This article highlights the history of the study of word formation in
Ossetian linguistics from the period of the creation of the first “Ossetian Grammar”
written by A.M. Sjögren (1794-1855) to its establishment as a special section. The
relevance of the research is due to the fact that without knowledge of the history of the
forming of certain word-formation categories and processes, their further research is
impossible. In addition, issues related to both language dynamics in general and, in
particular, the problems of word-formation dynamics stay among the most relevant in
modern linguistics. The study describes the most significant works on the grammar of
the Ossetian language for the period from the first half of the XIX century to the present
day. The degree of elaboration of the material presented in them on word formation
is revealed. The structural and semantic analysis of the linguistic terminology used in
them is carried out. The main stages of the formation of the word-formation system
of the Ossetian language are determined. Of particular interest is the word-formation
terminology presented in Sjögren’s “Ossetian Grammar”, since in it all the terms are
translated into the Ossetian language (Tagaur (Iron) and Digor). In modern research,
these terms have not strengthened, but they are of great interest, as they shed light on
the semantics of the corresponding words in the past.
Keywords: Ossetian language, Digor dialect, word formation, word-formation system of the Ossetian language, establishment of word-formation terminology
