The English Suffix -Wise and its Productivity from the Non-Native Speaker Perspective

Abstract

SLV: Članek skuša osvetliti produktivno rabo angleške pripone wise v sodobni angleščini, njene različne pomene in možne prevodne ustreznice v slovenskem jeziku. Slovenščina besedotvorno gledano ne pozna enake možnosti izpeljave za izražanje teh pomenov, zato se mora pri prevajanju zateči v opisne ustreznike. ENG: The article aims to shed some light on the productive use of the suffix -wise in present day Eng¬lish, its meanings, and possible equivalent paraphrases in the Slovene language, which, from the word-formational point of view, does not employ the same derivational tool to express the same meanings.
