Abstract

Pejorative deverbal names of subjects with a suffixal formant denoting a person with regard to making movement, motion in space are discussed in the article. The names are used in the peripheral Belarusian dialects of Lewkowo Stare. They refer mainly to men who perform an action. They can also be ambivalent with regard to grammatical gender. In the study about 170 derivatives formed by means of 30 suffixal formants have been analyzed. The analysis of the collected material has enabled to distinguish not only appropriate word-formation types within the studied category of names but also many and highly extended synonymic sequences of the analyzed derivational structures.
