In Slovenian morphology, which word formation process produced the noun 'avtocesta' from 'avto' and 'cesta'?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Zlaganje
- Step 1: 'Avtocesta' is formed by combining two distinct word bases ('avto' and 'cesta') into a single compound word (zloženka), which is the process of zlaganje. Answer: Zlaganje. Why not the others: Izpeljava creates words using derivational suffixes, sestavljanje adds prefixes to a single base, and sprevrnitev converts categories without affixes.
