Seelangtsy!

Can anyone suggest a textbook (or part of a textbook) with exercises
on word formation (I'm particularly interested in verbal prefixes,
suffixes and imperfective derivation) suitable for third-year Russian
students in a reading-oriented course?

I have, of course, Townsend's "Russian Word-Formation" but it doesn't
have exercises. I also fear it's a little too technical, given both
the level of my students and the aims of the course (at the
moment--alas!--pretty much of the old-fashioned reading through
translation/grammar variety). In an ideal world, what I'd like is
something along the lines of Kagan/Miller or Rifkin's
reading-oriented discussions of participles.

Inquiringly,

Nicole
