The study of the word-formation and semantic structures of these adjectives is based on lexicographic material from the standard dictionaries of the two languages. In Byelorussian, as compared with Bulgarian, the suffix -ов expressive of material, is predominantly used. The formal and semantic distribution of these suffixes is similar in both languages. The differences are reflected in the existence of an unequal number of word-formative doublets. %B Съпоставително езикознание / Сопоставительное языкознание / Contrastive linguistics %V 4 %P 46–50 %G bul %N 2
