  • 5 - Derivation without Affixation

  • Ingo Plag, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf
  • Book:
    Word-Formation in English
    Published online:
    30 April 2019
    Print publication:
    12 July 2018, pp 105-130

  • Summary

    This chapter deals with non-affixational word-formation processes. First, three major problems of conversion are discussed. This is followed by an introduction to prosodic morphology with a detailed analysis of some morphological categories that are expressed by chiefly prosodic means, such as truncated names, -y diminutives, clippings, and blends. Finally, abbreviations and acronyms are investigated.

  • 1 - Basic Concepts

  • Ingo Plag, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf
  • Book:
    Word-Formation in English
    Published online:
    30 April 2019
    Print publication:
    12 July 2018, pp 4-19

  • Summary

    This chapter introduces basic concepts needed for the study and description of morphologically complex words. Since this is a book about the particular branch of morphology called word-formation, we first take a look at the notion of ‘word.’ We then turn to a first analysis of the kinds of phenomena that fall into the domain of word-formation, before we finally discuss how word-formation can be distinguished from the other sub-branch of morphology, inflection.

  • Answer Key to Exercises

  • Ingo Plag, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf
  • Book:
    Word-Formation in English
    Published online:
    30 April 2019
    Print publication:
    12 July 2018, pp 198-229

  • Summary

    This chapter provides answers to the exercises found at the end of each chapter. Where appropriate, the answers include critical discussions of the data, concepts and analyses employed.

  • 7 - Theoretical Issues: Modeling Word-Formation

  • Ingo Plag, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf
  • Book:
    Word-Formation in English
    Published online:
    30 April 2019
    Print publication:
    12 July 2018, pp 162-197

  • Summary

    In this chapter theories are introduced that try to find principled answers to three central problems of morphology. We will first examine approaches that try to model the interaction of phonology and morphology. This is followed by a treatment of a related problem, the ordering of affixes. In the final part of the chapter we discuss how different morphological theories conceptualize the form and nature of word-formation rules. This discussion includes word-based and morpheme-based approaches as well as computational approaches (analogical modeling and Naive Discriminative Learning).

  • 6 - Compounding

  • Ingo Plag, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf
  • Book:
    Word-Formation in English
    Published online:
    30 April 2019
    Print publication:
    12 July 2018, pp 131-161

  • Summary

    This chapter is concerned with compounds. Section 6.1 focuses on the basic characteristics of compounds, investigating the kinds of element compounds are made of, their internal structure, headedness, and stress patterns. This is followed by descriptions of individual compounding patterns and the discussion of the specific empirical and theoretical problems these patterns pose. In particular, nominal, adjectival, verbal, and neoclassical compounds are examined, followed by an exploration of the syntax-morphology boundary.

  • 2 - Studying Complex Words

  • Ingo Plag, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf
  • Book:
    Word-Formation in English
    Published online:
    30 April 2019
    Print publication:
    12 July 2018, pp 20-43

  • Summary

    This chapter discusses in some detail the problems that arise with the implementation of the basic notions introduced in chapter 1 in the actual analysis of word structure in English. First, the notion of the morpheme is scrutinized with its problems of the mapping of form and meaning. Then the phenomenon of base and affix allomorphy is introduced, followed by a discussion of the notion of ‘word-formation rule’. Finally, cases of multiple affixation and compounding are analyzed.
