THE BASIC CONCEPT OF THE WORD-FORMATION OF THE MODERN MONGOLIAN LANGUAGE
The article is devoted to the description of the basic concepts of the word-formation system of the modern Mongolian language. The object of research is derived words. The subject of the study is semantics, the structure of derived words and their formal-semantic relations. The purpose of the study is to describe the basic concepts of the word-formation system of the Mongolian language. The objective of the research is to describe the units of the word-formation system in formal and semantic aspects and their place in the system of word formation. The material for the study was derived words recorded in modern dictionaries and on the pages of the press. The main method of research was word-formation analysis, which is fundamentally different from morphemic and morphological. Research results: using the achievements of modern linguistics in the field of word formation, for the first time in this study the authors propose a description of the word formation of the modern Mongolian language as a system with two subsystems: formal-semantic and semantic-formal. In the first approach, a complex unit of the word-formation system is allocated - the word-formation type, and in the second approach, a complex unit is allocated - the word-formation nest. Conclusions: the description of the word formation of the Mongolian language as a system with the help of complex word-forming units is a new step in the study of Mongolian wordformation, stating that Mongolian word formation is not only a set of ways and means of word formation (traditional approach), but also a specially organized system of derived words that are among themselves in specific paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations (a new approach). The results are important for comparing systems of related languages.
