Tarptautinių dėmenų vartosenos polinkiai lietuvių kalboje

ENRecently more and more words have been formed by using international prefixes. Viewing statistically, this article analyses the usage of the words containing international components. Appreciating the tendencies of the usage of these components such words belong to different parts of speech (nouns and adjectives) used in the texts of different functional styles. All the words selected from the CORPUS have been grouped into scientific, artistic and administrative style. Lexical units (nouns and adjectives) with the international components found in the CORPUS comprise about 4404 (2641 nouns and 1763 adjectives). Having analysed the available examples the linguist states that most of the words with international components have been found in the scientific functional style in comparison with any other style. Accordingly, there have been found the number of 1520 words in scientific works and documents. The lexical units comprising the components such as anti-, foto-, agro-, auto-, super- etc. make the most part of them. Having analysed the examples and compared them with the words in Dictionary of the International Words, Dictionary of the Modern Lithuanian Language, Dictionary of the Radioelectrotechnical Terms, Dictionary of the Philosophical Terms, and with the available words in the Term Bank, it has turned out that 9 0% of the selected examples are coinages and do not exist in the editions mentioned above. Most of the words have been formed regardless of the rules, sometimes artificially adding the international components and not paying attention whether these components can be used at all, or they really perform a function of established notion. Having analysed such words structurally the linguist considers that most of the words have been formed using the second component as a borrowing.
