The paper compares two rival word-formation constructions giving rise to compound agent nouns in Russian, i.e., (para)synthetic compounds formed with the agentive suffixes -ec and -tel’, such as basnopisec ‘fable writer’ and bytopisatel’ ‘everyday-life writer’. To understand what makes these constructions different from one another, compounds in -ec and -tel’ are analyzed based on a number of formal and semantic criteria, i.e., the part of speech and semantic role of the non-verbal element of the compound, the transitivity and formal aspect of the verbal base of the compound, the animacy of the compound’s referent, and the semantics of the compound. The study is supported by statistical analyses, i.e., conditional inference trees and random forests, which help discriminate the behavior of rival constructions and determine which parameters are more relevant for the comparison. To understand whether diachronic and/or stylistic factors also affect the survival of rival constructions, the data are checked in the Russian National Corpus, which allows retrieving information about the texts in which compounds occur, such as their creation date and textual genre. Finally, the productivity of rival word-formation constructions in modern Russian is discussed both in terms of diachronic changes and in terms of restrictions that the two constructions are subject to. The analyses carried out demonstrate that the two constructions show significant differences regarding their semantics, but also their diachronic and stylistic distribution, as well as their productivity, which prevents one construction from completely ousting the other in modern Russian.

俄语中的代理（对）合成化合物：竞争结构的定量研究

本文比较了在俄语中产生复合代理名词的两种对立的构词结构，即由代理后缀-ec和-tel形成的（对）合成化合物，例如basnopisec的“寓言作家”和bytopisatel的“每天”。生活作家”。为了理解是什么使这些结构彼此不同，基于大量形式和语义标准（即，语音的一部分和该复合词的非语言元素的语义作用）来分析-ec和-tel'中的复合词，化合物言语基础的可传递性和形式方面，化合物所指对象的生气以及该化合物的语义。该研究得到统计分析的支持，即条件推断树和随机森林，有助于区分竞争对手构造的行为，并确定哪些参数与比较更相关。为了了解历时性和/或文体因素是否也影响了对手建筑的生存，我们在俄罗斯国家语料库中检查了数据，从而可以检索有关化合物出现的文本的信息，例如化合物的创建日期和文本体裁。最后，从历时变化和两种结构所受的限制两个方面讨论了现代俄语中敌对的构词结构的生产力。进行的分析表明，这两种结构在语义，历时和文体分布以及生产力方面都表现出显着差异，
