G.B. Antroushina considers that

1. The problem of word-building is associated with

prevailing morphological word-structures, and with process of making new words;
2. The problem of meaning in the limits of which the approaches to the study of meaning are characterized by two different levels: syntagmatic and paradigmatic;
3. The problem of phraseological units (the word-groups which are characterized by the stability of structure and transferred meaning).
