WORD FORMATION MODELS OF DEVERBAL NOUNS NOMINA PROFESSIONALIS IN TURKISH AND BULGARIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

With the development of the cognitive paradigm, as well as the anthropocentric direction in modern linguistics, there is a tendency towards a complex study of men. One of the aspects of this approach is the study of the individual as the person exericing a certain profession, therefore the object of attention are the linguistic patterns characterizing the doer of the action with regard to his professional affiliation. The active processes of word formation and nomination, which are closely related to the evolutionary development in society, are implemented in the respective linguistic units. In both Turkish and Bulgarian a number of word-formation patterns with an agentive meaning, relatively similar in their semantics, are found, distributed in one of the word-formation types nomina professionalis. The structural core of the category is formed by the semantic pattern “A person who performs an action named in the underlying stem”.
