Abstrakčiųjų priesagos -imas (-ymas) daiktavardžių konkretėjimas administracinėje kalboje

Abstract

Abstract nouns with the sufix -imas (-ymas) are a rather common form in the usage of the administrative language. The suffix is generally used in a very clear meaning of action (or state) and the usage leads to the abstraction common to the administrative language. However the specifics of the language usage can not justify the use of these adjectives. The publication "Kalbos patarimai" specifies 14 inappropriate or inappropriate usage cases involving abstract nouns. Some recommendations specify correct cases of use as well. Sometimes the boundary between a norm and not norm sometimes is not very clear. This article atempts to set out the criteria distinguish the concrete nouns with those who acquired a more specific (concrete) meaning. The more specific (concrete) abstract noun meaning is mainly reflected in the context, the attribute first of all, as well as the opportunity to have a plural form, and such cases are to be distinguished when a noun gains a new meaning.
