Morphological Analysis of Lexical Units Related to Agrotourism
Abstract
The article provides a comprehensive morphological analysis of lexical units specific to the field of agrotourism, exploring the structural mechanisms underlying the formation and development of specialized vocabulary. Emphasis is placed on productive word-formation processes in English, such as affixation, compounding, conversion, and abbreviation, with illustrative examples drawn from agrotourism-related discourse. The study highlights how these morphological strategies contribute to the precision, adaptability, and semantic richness of the terminology used in agrotourism. It also discusses the influence of interdisciplinary integration—particularly with ecology, gastronomy, and rural development—on the expansion of agrotourism vocabulary. The findings underscore the dynamic nature of terminological growth in response to evolving agricultural and tourism practices, and they reveal a tendency toward lexical innovation to accommodate emerging concepts and services within this niche sector.
