Introduction
Despite the fact that the beginning of active study of formal-sense relations between derived words in WF was established in the 1970s, the interest to WF is still relevant. In recent years, the range of problems related to the analysis of WF and the variety of approaches to them have recently expanded (Evseeva, 2018). Different studies focus not only on grammatical, word-building, lexical relations of WF, but also on their cognitive abilities. The potential words of different thematic groups (Svechkareva, 2006), peculiarities of the development of international vocabulary, discursive aspect of derivatives (Puzynina, 2007), issues of word-formation synonyms (Mengel, 2007), etc. are particularly interesting.
However, the reference point of any WF is the source word. As Vinokur (1959) notes, there may be no conceivable or imaginary mediating link, but its first stage, its starting point cannot be absent. Source words lead word families and play an extremely important role in the structural organization and semantic arrangement of word formation (WF). They define the formal and semantic features of their derivatives, their behavior in the acting mechanism of word formation. They lead word-forming paradigm. The entire families of words inherit their various properties. The source words largely determine the peculiarities of the word-generating mechanism of a language, the system organization of word formation (Tikhonov, 1974).
Problem Statement
This work is devoted to the study of the system of word-forming nouns ending with
The mechanism of word families is directly determined by structural and semantic characteristics of the source word. The productive strength of the source word and the derived members within the word family, the degree of structural complexity of the WF and its lexical content are regulated and stimulated mainly by these extralinguistic factors (Ushakova, 2017).
Research Questions
The study presents the analysis of 127 WF with source words ending with
The interaction of meaning and derivation characteristics in WF with source-polysemants ending with
Purpose of the Study
In order to give a synchronous formal-semantic description of word-forming noun families ending with
Research Methods
The study was conducted synchronously taking into account the systemic relations of the analyzed facts. The leading method was a descriptive method involving such techniques as observation, comparison, generalization, and elements of transformative and component analysis.
Findings
The study makes it possible to state that the source words lead the word families and indeed play an extremely important role in the structural organization and semantic arrangement of the family, determine formal and sense characteristics of derivatives, their behavior in the acting mechanism of word formation.
Conclusion
1. On the basis of the analysis of formal-sense relations between nouns ending with
2. According to their structure, most source nouns ending with
In the first part of additions ending with
Most of the above thermoinelements act as prepositive parts not only for words ending with
There are different relations between words having a common prepositive component. In some cases, this leads to synonyms and even to a competition mode between them, which is characterized not only and not so much by the frequency of usage but by the realization of word-forming abilities of each of them. Cf.:
petrologist petrograph
petrolog-

petrograph-

Developing according to the laws of this LSG, word families are characterized by a commonality of generation mechanisms. At the same time, the degree of structural complexity and intensity of its lexical content is certainly higher for WF
The relations between words ending with

As can be seen, WFs are characterized by almost equal word-forming abilities. However, in WF
The comparison of source words ending with
3. For the purpose of the most adequate description of word-generating abilities of nouns ending with
4. All source nouns ending with
As for the source derivatives of nouns ending with
As seen, the producing basis may be fully or partially included into a derivative in its short form (in 65 out of 105 cases the source sub-families ending with
1) allerg(y) – allergi-o-logy; Angl(o) – angl-o-logy, as well as: Byzant(ium), Ind(ia), but resuscitat(ion), divers(ion) – derivat-o-logy (Cf. also: symmetry(y) – symmetry-o-graph);
2) ide(a) – ide-o-logy; bacteri(a) – bacteri-o-logy, as well as: malari(a), transfuse(ion), etc. (cf. also: arteri(a) – arteri-o-graphy, histor(y) – histori-o-graphy, potency(a) – potenti-o-graph);
3) cosmet(ics) – cosmet-o-logy; polit(ics) – polit-o-logy, as well as Atlant(ic) (cf.: dynam(ics) – dinam-o-graphy); intonate(ion) – inton-o-logy; transplant(ation) – transplant-o-logy;
4) phytocene(oses) – phytocene-o-logy, as well as: arachkoentomos(es).
All other cases of reducing the noun bases are irregular even in sub-families ending with
As can be seen, mainly nouns serve as producing bases for words ending with
As a rule, various combinations of phonemes are reduced in the generating base, in some cases the reduced part is a suffix. Note that the generating bases can participate in the formation of words ending with
It is extremely rare when the reduction of the generating base of words ending with
The partial and lexico-semantic characteristic of the generating bases themselves makes it possible to establish which groups of words are included into the process of terminological word formation, and the use of the same word as the generating basis both for a noun ending with
5. Among the source nouns ending with
Easily, the connecting vowel is identified in the source-derived nouns ending with
As for the source-
The connecting vowel can also be distinguished on the basis of comparison of complex words with the same components, for example:
Among nouns ending with
