This article deals with the order of verbal suffixes in Adyghe, a polysynthetic language of the Caucasus. Traditionally the structure of the Adyghe word form and the order of its affixes were described in terms of template morphology. However, we present new data demanding another, substantially different approach. We demonstrate that for the most part suffix ordering within the Adyghe verb follows strictly compositional rules. This feature is a manifestation of the polysynthetic nature of the language.

“…The Yupik language, like probably most languages of the world, has a stem meaning 'work' -qepgha(gh)-. In Yupik, verbal and nominal derivation is very well developed: the language is considered a prototypical polysynthetic language (see de Reuse 2006). Consequently, the stem qepgha(gh)-is broadly used for word formation, for example qepgha-q 'work' (noun), qepghagh-tuq 'he works', qepghagh-ta 'worker', qepghaghyugunga 'I wanted to work', qypgha-qiisek 'one having nothing to do, bored person' (see Jacobson 2008: 408).…”
