Abstract

In the derivational affixes system of English technical terms there are obvious trends of affixes inventory renovation. A prominent neological transformation is emerging, especially in the prefixal inventory, as a result of passing the elements of Greek and Latin etymology in affixes category. This phenomenon of transformation composition elements into morphemic affixes is more pronounced in the derivational system of prefixes. Keywords: affixoid, prefix, prefixoid, suffix, autonomous lexical units, composition element, technical terminology.
