Secondary abstract: | Word formation occupies an important place in the linguistic theory of Jože Toporišič. This article focuses on the more practical nature of Toporišič's work on word formation, exploring two aspects: the views which he expressed in his numerous interviews about the word-formational potential of Slovene and his own word-formational creativity. Toporišič considered the word-formational potential of the Slovene language as a remedy against uncritical borrowing. He himself also showed great ingenuity in creating new words, motivated by the need to fill lexical gaps in Slovene or by his own need for creativity. |
