description This article is based on a pilot study of the appearance of the suffixes ‑ica and ‑ka with variants in word-formational semantic groups based on material from the Standard Slovenian Dictionary (SSKJ) and the Gigafid corpus. The study showed that the two suffixes are used to form feminine nouns in 38% of cases in SSKJ and 37% of cases in the corpus. For a more detailed analysis, additional material was therefore extracted from the work New Slovenian Vocabulary and the bachelor’s thesis Newly Coined Words for Designating People in Slovenian in order to determine which suffix is more frequent in feminine noun formation.
