The audiobook by linguist Irina Fufaeva—“What Are Women Called. Feminatives: History, Structure, Competition”—arrived at just the right time: in the media, and above all online, the arguments about “authorkas” and “blogerok,” “specialistkas” and “editorkas” never stop. Supporters and opponents of new word-formation keep crossing swords and breaking spears as they try to defend their point of view. Irina Fufaeva invites readers to look at modern Russian as an ecosystem, and at word-formation models as a kind of habit, thanks to which our inner linguist instinctively resists using certain suffixes. The book also includes a unique excursion into the history of Russian feminatives and consistently debunks the main myths connected with their use in modern Russian.
