Jestvovanie a uplatňovanie rytmického zákona v oblasti tvorenia slov

The author presents a systematic set and interpretation of quantitatively variant word­forming suffixes, which is based on his concept of rhythmic distribution law as a phonological rule applicable in the field of morphology and word­formation. This set of quantitatively variant word­forming suffixes is analogous to a set of quantitatively variant form­forming suffixes, but in contrast to them, these word­forming suffixes do not create word­forming paradigms built on a quantitative basis. The concept is illustrated by numerous examples from the current standard Slovak language.
