ENSince 2002 the Terminology sub-commission of the State Commission of the Lithuanian Language (further – SCLL) together with botanists have been discussing changes in Lithuanian names of plants which appear due to changes in Latin taxonomy and giving Lithuanian names to plants which were brought to Lithuania in recent years and which previously did not have Lithuanian names. At the end of 2014 SCLL announced the recommendation “Dėl dekoratyvinių augalų lietuviškų pavadinimų” (In regard to Lithuanian names of decorative plants) comprising standardized Lithuanian names of genera and species of decorative plants. This paper deals with 417 new names of plant genera, presented in the above mentioned recommendation of SCLL. New names are synchronically researched from the point of view of terminology and word-formation; ways of creation and derivation of Lithuanian neologisms are established; and ways of derivation of the current names of plant genera and names of genera taken from “Lietuvos flora” (Lithuanian flora) are compared. The sources for the new names of genera of decorative plants included in the SCLL recommendation “Dėl dekoratyvinių augalų lietuviškų pavadinimų” are creation of Lithuanian neologisms, names created by Laurynas Ivinskis and other authors, terminologized names from dialects and borrowing of names from Latin. [...].The comparison of Lithuanian neologisms with the names of plant genera from Lietuvos flora shows that names in both groups were created using the same ways of word-formation: the most productive way is suffixation, the largest number of derivatives have suffixes -enis, -enė; the least productive way is prefixation; the second most productive way of word-formation for the new names of plant genera from the SCLL recommendation is the derivation using inflexional endings and in Lietuvos flora it is compounding. The majority of compounds from Lietuvos flora are old folk names and the number of Lithuanian neologisms is small. The research of other groups of new names shows that the number of borrowed Latin names for decorative plants is similar to the number of borrowings in Lietuvos flora, but the number of terminologized words from dialects is a lot smaller. The characteristic feature of the new names of genera of decorative plants is a large number of names adopted from Ivinskis’writings. [From the publication]
