(усічених) words or roots of words: англ. fan(tasy)+(maga)zine =
fanzine; fl(y)+(h)urry = flurry; cinem(a) + actress = cinematress;
укр. ас(пі- рін)+кофе(їн) = аскофен; витріщатик “ходити по
Хрещатику, витріщивши очі”.
Onomatopoeia (sound-imitation). Words coined by this
interesting type of word-building are made by imitating different
kinds of sounds that may be produced by animals, birds, insects,
human being and inanimate objects: англ. to bark, cock-a-doodle-
doo; укр. гавкати, кукуріку.
Reduplication. In reduplication new words are made by
doubling a stem, either without any phonetic changes as in (coll.
for. bye-bye) or with a variation of the root-vowel or consonant as
in ping-pong, chit¬chat.
Back-formation (reversion) is rather productive type of
word-for mation in English, where many short words are inferred
from longer words: англ. greed — greedy, to house-clean —
house- cleaner, own — owning, укр. крик — кричати, говір —
говорити.
