Implementation of the intensity category in suffixal adjectives

Abstract
The article analyzes categorical-derivational and semantic features of adjectives with the suffixes -оват-, -охоньк-, -ошеньк- -ейщ-/-айш-, -ат-, -аст-, -ист-, which are used to express the semantics of ‘intensity’ and are considered as a means of realizing the intensity category in the modern Russian language.
The relevance of the study is determined by the importance of the meaning ‘intensity’ in the Russian-speaking national community and the insufficient understanding of the role that the word-formation plays in realizing the attributive function of the intensity category.
Based on the analysis, the article draws a conclusion that in Russian the intensity category is realized by means of two derivational categories: modificational and mutational. In derivatives of the modification category, the intensity is presented in a pure form, not complicated by additional components; while in the mutational category, the intensity of derivatives appears in conjunction with the meaning of objectivity. The modificational category is a direct and more vivid means of expressing the intensity category in Russian than the corresponding mutational category. Moreover, both categories have large semantic information and developed formal structures, which reflect a high degree of their importance in the linguistic consciousness of Russian speakers. The practical significance of the work is the systematization of a significant number of linguistic means, used to express the category of intensity. The article is intended for persons specializing in the field of word formation of the Russian language: derivatologists, young researchers, teachers of philological faculties.
