Abstract: The article traces the development of Ukrainian historical derivatology as an important component of Slavic studies. The main concepts and methodological approaches that emerged in Slavic linguistics during the second half of the 20th century and became the methodological basis for historical and linguistic studies of the word formation system are considered. The main problems that arise in the analysis of word formation processes in the diachronic aspect are identified. These include the need to revise traditional methods of analysing historical material, the insufficient completeness of the source base and the complexity of reconstructing word formation models.
Particular attention is paid to the contribution of Ukrainian and foreign linguists to the development of historical word formation. It is shown that the study of the Ukrainian language word formation has gone through a complex development path – from a descriptive approach to explanatory linguistics, which allows establishing cause-and-effect relationships between changes in the word formation system. The main achievements of the Ukrainian historical derivatology are outlined, as well as the prospects for further research in this area. It is proved that modern trends in the development of historical derivatology require the use of different approaches to the description of word formation phenomena and processes and their integration in order to fully and comprehensively characterise the word formation system of the Ukrainian language.
Keywords: historical derivatology, word formation, diachronic derivation analysis, derivatological concept, linguo-Ukrainian studies, Slavic studies.
