Abstract
The article summarizes the principal formal, syntagmatic and semantic aspects of deriva- tional morphology. The formal aspects include stem formation and selection as well as affixational and non-affixational operations. Under syntagmatic aspects we consider the internal structure of derived words, including affix ordering, morphophonological restrictions and paradigmatic aspects. In the semantico-syntactic aspects we include the prototypical semantic categories of derivation, as well as argument structure alternations, such as causatives, applicatives and passives, derivational relationships that do not involve any semantic component, and evaluative morphology (diminutives/augmenta- tives).
