Abstract
The paper focuses on the analysis of functioning of words with suffix -izmus/-stvo in contemporary Slovak texts. The source of the analysis is the Slovak National Corpus – particularly the corpus of older texts (texts from 1955 to 1989), primary corpus (texts from 1955 to 2017, especially since 2000), and corpus of web texts (until 2017). The comparison of the frequency and collocations of the analysed words shows the dynamics of these microsystems in the language of the previous and the current period, and of partial linguistic analyses.
