What are women called. Fufaeva I.

The book of the linguist Irina Fufaeva “What are women called. Feminitives: History, device, competition ”appeared as possible in time: in the media, and first of all, on the Internet, disputes about“ author ”and“ blogger ”,“ specialist ”and“ editor ”do not subside, and supporters and opponents of new word formation , regularly cross their swords and break the spears, trying to defend their point of view. Irina Fufaeva invites the reader to look at modern Russian as an ecosystem, and on word -formation models - as a kind of habits, thanks to which our internal linguist is intuitively opposed to the use of certain suffixes.

The book also contains a unique excursion into the history of Russian feminity and the main myths associated with their use in modern Russian are debunked.
