Popis: Two minor word-formation processes: Clipping and Blending are being discussed in this paper. Despite the fact that Affixation, Compounding and Conversion are the major word-formation processes by which the majority of words in the English language are created, neither Blending nor Clipping should be neglected since they have been increasingly used in recent years, especially among younger population. Hence, that increasing use of these two minor word-formation processes was the main reason for writing this paper. However, not all students have the same knowledge about these processes. Namely, the hypothesis of the paper states that the undergraduate English double-major and single major students of the University of Mostar have better knowledge on Clipping than on Blending, which was confirmed by the research results. Nevertheless, research results also show that in general, undergraduate English double-major students have better knowledge on both of these two word-formation processes, which was actually not a surprise since the exam results in some courses (Morphology, CEL III and CEL IV) in recent years have shown that undergraduate English double-major students take more active participation in classes, and they take their study more seriously (mostly double-major students in two foreign languages) and therefore have better grades, whereas undergraduate English single-major students take less active participation in classes and they take their study less seriously (a research should also be conducted on this topic).
U ovome se radu raspravlja o dvama procesima tvorbe riječi: skraćivanju (Clipping) i srastanju (Blending). Unatoč činjenici da su tvorba riječi dodavanjem afiksa (Affixation), tvorba složenica (Compounding) i preoblika (Conversion) tri glavna procesa tvorbe riječi u engleskome jeziku, ne treba zanemariti ni srastanje niti skraćivanje jer se ovi procesi sve više rabe zadnjih godina, posebice među mlađom populacijom (neformalna komunikacija). Naime, upravo ta povećana uporaba glavnim je razlogom pisanja ovoga rada. Ipak, važno je istaknuti da svi studenti nemaju jednako znanje kada je riječ o navedenim dvama procesima. U skladu s tim, hipoteza ovoga rada glasi da, općenito govoreći, studenti dodiplomskoga dvopredmetnog i jednopredmetnog Studija engleskoga jezika i književnosti bolje poznaju proces skraćivanja riječi nego proces srastanja riječi, što je i potvrđeno rezultatima istraživanja. Također, rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da, općenito govoreći, studenti dodiplomskoga dvopredmetnog Studija engleskoga jezika i književnosti bolje poznaju oba navedena procesa tvorbe riječi. Navedeno i ne začuđuje budući da posljednjih nekoliko godina ispitni rezultati iz nekih kolegija (Morfologija engleskog jezika, SEJ III i SEJ IV) pokazuju da su studenti dodiplomskoga dvopredmetnog Studija engleskoga jezika i književnosti aktivniji na predavanjima i shvaćaju svoje obveze ozbiljnije (posebice studenti dvaju stranih jezika) i imaju bolje ocjene, dok studenti dodiplomskoga jednopredmetnog Studija engleskoga jezika i književnosti nisu toliko aktivni na predavanjima i ne shvaćaju svoje obveze toliko ozbiljno (o navedenome bi se trebalo uraditi istraživanje).
