Abstract:

The conversion phenomenon in the language has been studied by different linguists in different ways, its criteria for definition, structural-semantic types, and language-specific features have not yet been fully determined, and it has no comprehensive scientific explanation. The main purpose of the article is to reveal derivational meanings and the paradigms of word-forming types by means of conversion. Thus, the given type of morphology is studied considering the functional aspect of language assets. It also focuses on the re-categorization of different forms of language units. There are different structural-semantic types of conversion such as substantivization, adjectivization, pronominalization, verbalization, adverbalization, conjunctionalization, etc. Each of these types has been expressed by the infinite forms of the verbs – participles, but this process happened at different levels in different languages in the world, such as Azerbaijani and Arabic, due to the coverage area and productivity from the point of view of their structure. In the system of participles intensive processes that condition their hybrid character in categorical sense take place. It can be assumed that certain syntactic position of participial forms can influence the realization of its grammatical and semantic valency, as well as the content of its morphological category. A comprehensive and systematic study of conversion phenomenon in the participles at different language layers in the world, in particular in Arabic linguistics can be considered as a scientific novelty in the article. Comparative-typological analysis of the structural-semantic types of conversion of participles in Arabic for the purpose of more precisely presenting these features can also be considered as scientific novelty of the research.
