Abstrakt
The article is acontrastive analysis of word-forming potential for six Czech and Polish ono-matopoeic verbs, such as: HLTAT / ŁYKNĄĆ;
2) CHLEMTAT / CHŁEPTAĆ;
3) CHROUPAT / CHRUPAĆ;
4) MLASKAT / MLASKAĆ;
5) SRKAT / CHLIPAĆ;
6) ŠPLOUCHAT / CHLUPAĆ. Using methodology of word-formation nests, two aspects of these words were analyzed:
1) abstract word-forming paradigm,
2) aword-forming chain. The analysis showed that in both languages ono-matopoeic verbs quite regularly will derive verbs naming the result of the action and the verbs expressing intensity or weakening of the action. In Czech language there are also verbs naming completion of the action, verbs accentuating the beginning of the action or its direction. Word-form-ing chains are different: Czech are constituted by: verb RIGHTWARDS ARROW adjective RIGHTWARDS ARROW adverb, Polish by: verb RIGHTWARDS ARROW noun RIGHTWARDS ARROW verb.
