The problem of word formation as one of the most important ways of enriching and developing a language has attracted and continues to attract the attention of linguists of various theoretical views and different countries. One of the little-studied areas of linguistics is antonymy. The article explores some issues of word formation theory, namely, what place word formation takes in the system of language sciences, what this science operates with, what are its basic units. The problem of compatibility of generating bases with word-forming formants is considered. The main set of affixes that form antonyms is given, a comparative characteristic of each of the word-formation tools in parts of speech (nouns and adjectives) is given, and a final assessment of the productivity of antonymic morphemes in English is given. The theory of matching suffixes V.A. Rudnitskaya and traces the effects of this theory in practice. Knowledge of the theory and methods of word formation and their practical application greatly contributes to the enrichment of the vocabulary based on familiar vocabulary.
