Abstract [eng] The subject of research is the morphemic structure of nouns and adjectives with (neo)classical elements and their formation in modern Lithuanian. The dissertation addresses problems related to morphemic structure, word formation and classification of (neo)classical elements in Lithuanian. Applying the principles of synchronic word formation analysis, the aim of the research is to investigate the morphemic structure and formation of nouns and adjectives with (neo)classical elements in modern Lithuanian. The main source of data is the Corpus of the Contemporary Lithuanian Language. The Corpus of Academic Lithuanian, the electronic Dictionary of Internationalisms, the Alphabetical Dictionary of Lithuanian Language Morphemics, the Dictionary of Contemporary Lithuanian and the electronic Dictionary of Lithuanian are used as additional data sources. On the basis of these sources, a compendium was compiled. Several research methods have been applied in this dissertation. One of them is the synchronic approach to morphemic and word formation analysis. The comparative method allows comparison of the morphemic structure and formation of hybrid words with the morphemic structure and formation of indigenous words. The corpus-based method involves a computerized search of lexemes and their frequency. Qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis will permit to determine which affixes and (neo)classical compound constituents are dominant and how many words are derived with them.
