Abstract

The article is an extension of the author's series of publications on derivational paradigmatics of the Ukrainian language. Derivational paradigms of nouns-names of persons according to their internal features constitute the focus of the article. The structural and semantic characteristics of the units under study are established, and the linguistic and extra-linguistic factors of influence on the formation of the component structure of derivational potential are investigated.
