Abstract
On the material reconstructed derivates of proto-Slavic era a lexical-derivational taxonomy of feminine nouns with the suffix –VA is carried out. The origin and the typology of derivational suffix-va in such derivatives are established. It is proved that the suffix -VA demonstrates the ability to be combined mostly with verbal and nominal bases. Minor frequency of the creation of proto-Slavic nouns by attaching to the original foundations of the suffix -VA and different types of semantic-derivational specifics of such derivative testify in favor of assumptions about the variant of the semantic-derivational behavior of this formant, and the lack of primary word-formation functions in proto-Slavic era. It is found that the formant -VA had a distinct word-formation potential with the creation of protoSlavic nouns abstract-deverbative. In verbal morphology this particle was sometimes a marker of collectivity in nouns. In proto-Slavic era deadjectival, which are created from noun, are not uniquely identify the primary function of this suffix, since it was formed besubstantial for the representation of names of plants, household utensils, somatisms and collective nouns. Lexical-derivational typology derived from the adjective with suffix -VA is represented by two groups: the names of persons and names of animals.
