Abstract
The article characters the main features of the word stems such as divisibility and motivation. This research was conducted on the basis of verbs- innovations taken from the Germans magazines. Divisibility and motivation describe the word stems from the point of view of the structure and of the semantics. Both concepts are connected with each other but have different perspectives on the words. Divisibility shows the structural connections between the derivatives and the producers. It uncovers whether the word stem can be divided into smaller parts (morphemes) or not. There are 6 types of the divisibility. Each type reveals the frequency and the rarity of usage of some root and affixational morphemes: productive stem and affix, productive stem and rare affix, productive stem and unique affix, unique stem and productive affix, unique stem and rare affix, indivisible stems. Motivation is based on the divisibility and reflects both semantic and structural connections between the derivative and the productive words that is why scientists distinguish two types of motivation such as formal (structural) and semantic. From the formal point of view motivation can be quantitative (direct and indirect connection between the producers and the derivatives) and qualitative (outgoing (producer is an underly- ing word) and not outgoing (the producer is derived from other word)), radius (from one producer only one derivative) and radial (from one producer many derivatives), singular (the derivative has one producer) and plural (the derivative can have some producers), hard (without alternants) and softish (with alternants). The semantic motivation can be com- plete (the meaning is clear) and incomplete (the meaning is disguised). From the perspective of semantics there are two oppositional types such as the main motivation – the peripheral motivation and the direct motivation – the metaphoric motivation. It opens not only linguistic but also extralinguistic connections between the words. Motivation shows us the main tendencies of the language development, the most spreading ways of the word formation.
