EXISTENCE OF LINGUISTIC GRADATION AS A PARADIGM AT THE MORPHOLOGICAL, LEXICAL-SEMANTIC LEVEL

Abstract

ABSTRACT

In morphological studies, the first general views about the phenomenon of gradation are based on the traditional interpretations of the level of quality (advancement), descriptions of categories such as possessives with three or more members, agreement, tense, person-number, the morphological amplification-reduction of meaning, the transition of word truisms to each other ( transposition), functional forms (adjectives, adverbs, nouns of action) can be seen in the interpretations of issues such as the fact that one word group has the characteristics of another word group. As you know, the scope of form formation was traditionally limited to form-forming affixes and auxiliary words. In recent years, repeated and double appearances of words have also been interpreted as formations. Morpheme indicators are represented by affixes (with prefixes and suffixes) and affixoids. In the composition of affixoids, there are prefixoids that indicate a large or high, borderline level of a character.
