Аннотация:Word-formation processes in Aghul (a Northeast Caucasian language spoken in Daghe-stan, Russia) include both compounding and derivation. Verbal compounding is veryproductive and is the primary way of enriching the verbal lexicon in the modern language, using borrowed Russian verbs. In contrast, although there are quite a largenumber of nominal compounds, they seem to be fixed expressions and no new compoundsare created. Derivation is mainly suffixal with the exception of verbal locative and repeti-tive derivation achieved by prefixes. Various types of full reduplication, as well as echo-reduplication and partial reduplication are fairly productive.
