RESUME
The diploma paper “The Peculiarities of Deadjectival Word-formation in Modern English” deals with the deadjectival word-formation in Modern English. The investigation describes the processes of English word-building in which adjectives fulfil the function of the derivation base. The fact that this field of derivation has not yet been studied as a system in a sufficiently adequate way, ensures topicality of the research.
It is common knowledge that the word-building patterns fall into two main types: they can be either non-transposing (when both the base word and the derived one belong to the same part of speech), or transposing (when they result in forming a word belonging to some other part of speech).
The aim of our research is the investigation of the transposing patterns only.
The basic tasks of the research comprised:
1) The specification of the concept of word-formation and its role from a linguistic point of view.
2) A systemic presentation of deadjectival word-formation as the special word-building field.
3) The functional analysis of the most productive ways of word-formation in Modern English.
4) Classification and characterization of transposing schemes and models for the description of the most productive word-formation processes.
5) The characterization of such types of word-formation that are less frequently used in Modern English.
6) The quantitative analysis of the frequent usage of the schemes and models described.
The object of the work is the productive types of deadjectival word-building in Modern English.
The subject of the paper is are models that represent these 6 main deadjectival productive types of word-formation, namely conversion, affixation, shortening, blending, back formation and word-composition.
The scientific novelty of the research is that it has been researched for the first time the main features of the formation of new lexemes with the deadjectival base. New is the involvement of a comprehensive approach to the analysis of word-formation patterns with an adjective as a base word. For the first time as the research material we have taken fiction written during the twentieth century, reflecting general trends of the word-formation process in modern English. 
The theoretical value of the research is related with solving the problems of word formation, lexicology, lexical semantics, derivatology, theoretical grammar.
The practical significance of the work is the ability to use all the theoretical conclusions and illustrations in teaching a normative courses on English theoretical grammar and lexicology, during the creation of special courses on lexical semantics, in practice of teaching English.
The diploma paper consists of introduction, two chapters with the conclusions for each of them, the general conclusions, the list of references and sources of illustrative material. The introduction defines the aims and tasks of the work, its topicality, scientific novelty, theoretical and practical importance, subject and object, the main methods of the research.
From the English literature of the twentieth century we singled out 115 examples that clearly outline and highlight how the functioning patterns of newly formed lexical items are presented in the speech.
The prospects of further research are seen in typological research of the system of word-formation in Ukrainian and English languages, namely identifying isomorphic and allomorphic features in lexical units formed by using the word-formation ways studied.
