The article focuses on the theoretical aspects of the interaction and competition of specific and foreign word-forming resources in the modern Ukrainian language. The views of linguists on the trend of development of the latest derivation system are outlined. It is emphasized that the symbiosis of native-Ukrainian and foreign-language word-formation means is generated and is based on the tendency to democratization and intellectualization of language in the context of globalization of social processes. Possibilities of functioning of productive foreign affixes in their interaction with specific counterparts are considered. Such forms contribute to the active creation of occasional and stylistically neutral derivatives and are markers of the current state of development of the Ukrainian language. It is substantiated that the analysis of new word-forming phenomena caused by globalization influences, processes of mastering new borrowings partly lacks objectivity, critical linguistic assessment, professional recommendations on the need and expediency of their use. The purpose of the study is to analyze the theoretical aspects of the interaction and competition of specific and foreign word-forming resources in the modern Ukrainian language. It is substantiated that new phenomena and processes in Ukrainian word formation are largely due to extralinguistic factors, including globalization influences, active borrowings from the lexicon and sectoral terminology of the Ukrainian language, changes in socio-political nature in Ukraine, awakening of national-linguistic consciousness of the Ukrainian elite. etc., as well as linguistic factors, primarily the development of intralinguistic processes aimed at strengthening the indigenous word-forming variants and preserving the identity of national word-formation. It is determined that under the influence of globalization tendencies the Ukrainian language practice was flooded with complex units (direct borrowings and innovations), combining two nouns, the first of which expresses an attributive meaning. It has been observed that the parallel functioning of genetically heterogeneous but close in meaning prefixes has led to the development of unequal relationships between word-forming types, as well as discussions about their differentiation and qualification – prefixes, prefixoids, prefixoid bases, prepositional components, international components, etc. Ukrainian soil function as prefixes. It is determined that the new phenomena recorded in the Ukrainian language practice and in the word-forming structure of the Ukrainian literary language of the last two decades are heterogeneous, and dynamic processes are diametrically opposite: some of them are aimed at strengthening historically formed Ukrainian word-forming variants, preserving national identity. word-forming types of the Russian language and their replacement by Ukrainian; others, in particular those under globalization, especially active lexical borrowing, imposed on it word-formation patterns of complex words, abbreviations, and other derivatives of the English language.
