Dūriniai su dėmeniu savi-

Abstract

The paper deals with two types of word formation, i. e. compounds and derivates with the pronominal component. The data obtained from the Lithuanian Language Corpus of Vytautas Magnus University reveal that in addition to regular compound nouns or adjectives with the first component savi- and the second verbal or nominal component, there is an increasing number of irregular or simply redundant words of this type. Therefore, the author suggests that hybrids and words that are at the same time compounds and derivates with the suffix or suffix and prefix combined with a reflexive particle should be avoided. Such words should not replace common word combinations or reflexive verbs
