    Annotation The study examines the semantics of derivatives formed by means of quasisuffixes. The functional aspect of such morphemes as –geddon/–mageddon, –erati, –pocalypse, –licious and – splaining is analyzed. The authors attempt to make a distinction between the terms of «suffix« and ―quasisuffix‖. The discussion of terminology complements the issue of English word formation and throws light to the morphological status of quasisuffixes. The study's findings support the idea that quasisuffixes are relatively autonomous derivational morphemes marked by pragmatic features and the ability to develop connotative meanings.
