This paper focuses on the prosodic properties of monosyllabic, that is, masculine rhymes in Serbian poetry. Word stress has been identified as a crucial prosodic feature of Serbian rhyme in general, and of masculine rhyme in particular, based on a quantitatively analyzed poetic database, which includes eight poets, four from the Romantic and four from the post-Romantic period. The role of stress is demarcative: it signals the beginning of the domain of rhyme, thereby considerably promoting its effectiveness. However, the presence of stress within the rhyme domain is not obligatory. The most effective are resonant rhymes, with demarcated domains in both lines, next in effectiveness are semi-resonant rhymes, with demarcation in only one of the lines, while nonresonant rhymes, which lack demarcation, are the least effective. Masculine rhymes are indistinct from feminine rhymes in terms of their prosodic organization, but differ significantly in terms of their linguistic realization. The lexical material provided by the Serbian grammatical system is only partially adequate for realizing masculine rhymes. The most effective resonant rhymes are formed exclusively by monosyllabic words, which are an extremely rare prosodic profile in the Serbian lexicon. On the other hand, the least effective nonresonant rhymes are exclusively formed by polysyllabic words, which are a dominant prosodic profile in the Serbian lexicon, but often yield infelicitous, barely recognizable rhymes. It is notable that masculine rhymes are not used by all poets in our database, which may well be due to the onerous lexical constraints on their formation. Masculine rhymes are in fact used by only four poets: three from the Romantic, and only one from the post-Romantic period.

Dialect is the speech of the oral environment based on oral intergenerational transmission. The orality of dialects and their ?history? reduced to the level of three generations (ME: PARENTS: GRANDPARENTS) has a clear impact on dialectal word formation, the description of which must take into account mechanisms other than those developed for analogous phenomena in the literary language. In the article, these issues have been indicated in pertinent maps and in excerpts from lexical corpora compiled on the basis of contemporary recordings (2001-2020) of several hours of conversations with numerous inhabitants of selected villages (about 50 people). In turn, the material obtained in the years 1985-1995 from the dialects of the Lublin region provided the grounds for examining the vitality of word formation in the dialectal environment, as well as the existence of borrowed elements in the linguistic borderland.

The research was conducted in order to show the dominant models of thinking related to the word for ?cat? in the Serbian language community. The conceptualization of the cat was examined based on the meaning of lexical units: the lexeme cat and its semantic structure; the derivational network of this lexeme; the terminological expressions with the lexeme cat and the phraseologisms with this component. It can be stated that the analysis of linguistic data successfully reveals models of conceptualization of the ?cat? in the Serbian language community. The results show that both types of cognition of reality participate in the understanding of this animal - experience that is realized by the senses, and understanding, which engages the intellectual capacities.

The subject of this research are verbs with destructive semantics in the Russian language, which are characterized by a paradigmatic defect. Verbs with a destructive meaning form one of the most numerous subgroups within the group of verbs with a paradigmatic defect. The semantic category of destructiveness, which denotes it in the broadest sense, has not yet received a comprehensive description in linguistics. A paradigmatic (systemic) defect is caused by a semantic mismatch between a certain grammeme and the lexical meaning of the lexeme. The given verbs have a two-part paradigm, and the impossibillity of using them in the other persons most often happens due to semantic barriers. They denote an action that is not related to a person as the doer of the action, but most often represents processes, states, and phenomena characteristic of the animal or plant world, etc. ? verb of destructiveness denotes an action with the meaning of ?decomposition?, ?deterioration?. Within the group of verbs with such semantics, we distinguished several subgroups: (1) verbs with the meaning of ?spoil?; (2) verbs with the meaning of ?disappear?; (3) verbs with the meaning of destruction, disintegration and (4) verbs with the meaning ?to cause damage?, ?to damage?. As the semantics of destructiveness primarily refers to phenomena or objects, there is almost no need to use other persons within the paradigm of these verbs.

The article examines feminatives as a semantic and word-formation category. In Slavic languages feminatives are mainly regarded as modificational derivatives formed from masculine derivatives by the whole replacement of the masculine suffix (bor-(-ec/-k?), partial replacement of the masculine suffix (bra-l/(-ec/-ka), or by adding the feminine suffix to the masculine suffix (miz-ar/-ka). Due to the expansion of global communication through mass media, the inevitable broadening of vocabulary requires the adaptation of borrowed words to the morphemic, morphological and word-formation paradigms of the borrowing language. As a consequence, it comes as no surprise that feminatives formed from the same masculine base often have two or more variants of feminine suffixes (dekan-ica - dekan-ka - dekan-ja). Three examples of variant feminine suffixes -ica and -ka added to masculine nouns ending in suffixes -or and -ator, which are of foreign origin, are examined in this paper. The purpose of the study is to establish which of the feminine suffixes are more productive and how they conform to the established patterns. The examined cases of masculine formations using the borrowed suffixes -or and its variant -ator (in addition to -tor, -itor and -utor) in the semantic category of living beings show variability in languages such as Slovene, Serbian and Slovakian, which are dependent on the existence of an appropriate nominal or verbal base in the language. In Slovene, such formations are consistently deverbal, while in Serbian and Slovakian they are either denominal or deverbal. The study focuses on three masculine formations koordinator, selektor and senator, and examines how their suffixes combine with the feminine suffix variants (-ka and -ica). The established pattern in Slovene predicts that masculine formations in -ator will form feminatives by adding the suffix -ka, while masculine formations in -or will form feminatives by adding the suffix -ica. In the example of the words koordinator- ka (from koordin-ator) and selektor-ica (from selekt-or), the usage confirms this pattern. However, there is a deviation from this pattern in the example of senatorka (from senat-or), where the feminative senator-ica would be predicted. The study offers a possible answer to the question of such deviations from the predictable patterns in contrast to the actual use of feminative suffixes. It is clear that language users are guided by different analogies when they form words. Although these analogies may not be linguistically supported, they are important in motivating the formation of many new words, especially those from borrowed bases. The language user depends on the recognition of the formal structure of the word to be able to choose a predictable word-formation pattern. In borrowed words, such formal structure is less clear, since it is based on foreign word-formation patterns with foreign root and derivational morphemes.

The paper analyses the means of lexical enrichment from the viewpoint of a theory of lexical motivation (TLM). After introductory notes, the methodological background (basic principles of TLM) is explained (section 2). Consequently, in section 3, a hierarchy of related concepts is introduced, namely, a three-tiered set of oppositions: (1) imitation nomination - lexical nomination, (2) intralinguistic nomination - cross- -linguistic nomination, (3) intralexemic nomination - interlexemic nomination. In accordance with that, the following types of lexical motivation are described: phonological motivation, word-formation motivation, morphological motivation, syntactic motivation, abbreviation motivation, semantic motivation, cross-linguistic (contact) motivation. These types represent particular means of lexical enrichment traditionally referred to as word formation, conversion, borrowing, clipping, etc. Moreover, in section 4 it is pointed out that these types of motivation are interrelated. This fact is reflected in the concept of motivational relatedness, which also applies to nomination processes. Nomination relatedness can be characterized as cooperation or determination. This is closely related to the concept of polymotivation, i.e., an alternative interpretation of nomination processes.

The Common Slavic particle that is realized in sub-Alpine South Slavic as neka has distinctive developments in Macedonian, Bulgarian, and the former Serbo-Croatian. The particle has its broadest usage in the former Serbo-Croatian, which appears to be, at least in part, due to contacts with Italo-Romance. Macedonian is more conservative than Bulgarian, and thus occupies a unique place within sub-Alpine South Slavic. At the same time, Bulgarian is less Balkan than Macedonian in that the latter permits a bare direct object without a verb.

The aim of this paper is to present the most frequent models of prefixation of the verbs of motion in Macedonian and their semantics. More precisely, it shows which prefixes carry their primary spatial meaning in the derived verb and which have lost their spatial meaning and are grammaticalized (convey only specific aspectual meaning, i.e., inchoativity, delimitation, etc.) Such prefixes in Macedonian are ??- expressing inchoativity (????? ?start going?, ?????? ?start running?, etc.) and ??- expressing delimitation (?????? ?walk for a while/limited period??, ??????? ?swim for a while/ limited period??, etc.). The analysis shows that the choice of the prefix depends on the semantics of the base verbs, especially on the type of situation which a specific subclass of verbs of motion denotes (activities vs. actions or processes).

The word vrednost (?value?) and other related words in the representative dictionaries of the Serbian language (Dictionary of SASA and Dictionary of Matica Srpska) are defined almost identically, but the structure and content of the dictionary entries are significantly different. Since the description of the content of linguistic concepts is based primarily on lexicographic sources, the article points out the aspects of the concept that can be reconstructed on the basis of data presented in the dictionary entries, i.e., by analyzing the order of meanings, the choice of words used in the definitions, as well as examples illustrating the use of the word in context. The obtained data is compared with the conclusions of etymologists and with the result of associative experiments presented in ARSJ. The study shows that value in the language system and in the minds of contemporary Serbian native speakers is based on a comparison of material or non-material (abstract) objects. Positive value of intangible objects is expressed in a conceptually identical way to the expression of a general positive assessment using cognitive metaphors GOOD IS HIGH, GOOD IS HEAVY, GOOD IS BIG. The language material also indicates that value is the result of choice, and that there is a possibility of changing the assessment of an object that is considered to be of value if a situation or conditions change.
