In modern Russian, there are enough techniques for "thickening" the meaning. Traditional methods of compressive word formation are conversion, coalescence, addition, conjunction, and abbreviation.
Conversion, or morphological and syntactic method of formation ,is the creation of a new word as a result of its transition from one part of speech to another without using special word-forming affixes, for example, during substantiation (the transition of an adjective or participle to a noun): A district commander is a commander, and a sick person is a sick person.
Splice, or lexical-syntactic method of formation, is used when creating a word from a whole phrase, for example: this day - today; quickly soluble - quickly soluble; sluggishly flowing - sluggishly flowing.
Abbreviation is the addition of abbreviated bases (university) or abbreviated bases and full words (TV center).
When adding, one or more derived bases are added to a new word using an interfix (either materially expressed or null), for example: south and west - south-west; raincoat and tent-raincoat-tent. This is the so-called pure addition. If the suffix ("left bank - left bank") is also involved in word formation, then this is a complex suffix method of word formation.
And, finally, the conjunction of the phrase, or suffix univer-sation, is used when creating a word from a determinative phrase, when the defined word is omitted, and the suffix is added to the base: reading room - reading room; test book-test book.
It is these methods that serve to concentrate the meaning of a whole phrase in one word, which in modern linguistics is called "unibation" (from Latin unus-one and verbum-word), that is, the formation of a word based on the phrase to which it is synonymous. In contrast to the so-called "nominative" ways of word formation, which are designed to give a new name to an object or object.
