Abstract:
As an expression of the tendency towards language economy, structures resulting from univerbirane illustrate the shortening of the text in favour of the code. They constitute one-word formations motivationally connected with denotational phrases, whose structure includes a modifying word underlying the onomasiological motive, e.g. trichlenna komisiya - trichlenka. The shortening of the text is manifested in replacing a generally used reproducible phrase with a one-word denotational unit. This is accompanied by the preservation of the concept, with which both types of denotational units are connected, cf. kirilska azbuka and kirilitsa.
