Abstract

The article discusses verbs derived from interjections in three languages: Polish, Russian and German. In particular, it presents an overview of derivation processes which are implemented while forming the analyzed lexemes, the most productive affixes in the three languages in question and specific characteristic features of the word formation processes involved therein. The present study is based on the material of Polish, Russian and German verbs derived from representative, impulsive and imperative interjections and shows that, as far as morphological processes are concerned, numerous analogies exist between Polish and Russian. For instance, morphemes -a(ć) /-a(ть) are highly productive, both languages implement the morpheme -ot-/ -от- as well as the infixes -k-/-к- and -cz-/-ч-. Because of the different properties of the language, which belongs to a different language family, German verbs derived from interjections display slightly different characteristic features.
