The article deals with the status of confixation, determined for the first time, as a way of verbal derivation and form production, typical of languages, different in structure (Indonesian, Malay, Arabic, German, Japanese etc). We present a study of confixal verbs from the viewpoint of word-formative types and synonymic connections during the long historical period. The analysis results reveal common patterns of connection of word-formative formants with bases, quantitative and qualitative aspects of usage of word-formative types representatives and determine the interconnections of the derivative with the specific text blocks. © IDOSI Publications, 2014.
