| Description
| - The objective of the present study is a comprehensive description and analysis of English back-formation (BF) in the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. The material collected (over 700 units) has been classified into nine types according to the part of speech of both the resulting and the source word. This typology derives from the typology established by Esko V. Pennanen (1966), whose classical study is the methodological point of departure of the present research. The major results of the research can be summarized in the following way: Productivity of BF remains at the same level as it was in the first half of the 20th century. The most productive process is the formation of verbs from action nouns. BF of verbs from agent nouns has decreased significantly. BF of verbs from adjectives has almost disappeared. There is a growth in the participation of compounds in this process; they represent 55 % in the sample from the latest period. The most frequent subtracted suffixes are -ing, -ion/-ation and -er, all of them being involved in the formation of verbs. Suffix -ing has become the most frequent suffix subtracted in BF. Stylistically unmarked items prevail, but they are often limited in use. Prefix BFs continue to be formed. Inflectional BFs seem to be on the decrease. The class of adjectives back-formed from agent nouns is a new type that might continue in occurrence. In the future the predominance of formation of verbs from action nouns will probably continue - it is the most easily functioning process. Formation of nouns from adjectives will decrease in productivity. The same applies to verbs from agent nouns. The suffix -ing is growing in frequency. Stylistically unmarked words will probably form the main volume of back-formed words. The present research has confirmed that BF can be considered an analysable and productive word-formation process, which has an indisputable potential for generating new words in the future.
