This paper argues for a distinction between word formation from roots and word formation from existing words. Focusing on Hebrew, it is shown that words made of roots may be assigned multiple and varied interpretations, while words made of existing words must depend semantically and phonologically on the word from which they are derived. To account for this difference, a locality constraint on ...

The paper presents a corpus-based comparative study of denominal adjectives in Dutch, German, and English. It aims at clarifying the notion approximation. More specifically, it focuses on investigating relation between approximation comparison as semantic categories word-formation. Drawing equivalent patterns, we both approximative readings various word-formation patterns (derivation compoundin...

The lexicon of several modern languages such as English, Italian, French, and German contains words which are composed of components corresponding to Ancient Greek and Latin words, but have not been borrowed from these ancient languages. The coverage of this part of the lexicon involves the recognition of the basic units, the description ofthe word formation processes, and the analysis ofexisti...

Morphology deals with the systematic correspondence between the form and meaning of words. The study of these regularities comprises the domains of inflection and word formation. Inflection concerns the expression of morphosyntactic properties, sometimes required by a specific syntactic context. Word formation deals with the creation of new (complex) words by various morphological mechanisms su...

Background: Co- word analysis is one of the content analysis methods used in scientometric studies and mapping the scientific structure of various fields. The purpose of the present research is to map the structure of distance education using the co-word analysis. Methods: The research method is content analysis using co- word analysis. The research population are 31607 documents indexed in the...

We present a morphological analyser for German inflection and word formation implemented in finite state technology. Unlike purely lexicon-based approaches, it can account for productive word formation like derivation and composition. The implementation is based on the Stuttgart Finite State Transducer Tools (SFST-Tools), a non-commercial FST platform. It is fast and achieves a high coverage.

Both language systems, spoken Slovene and Sign Language, are composed of basic word formation or sign elements, which act as cornerstones for compounded words signs. The new in is realised by adding suffixes after the base stem a word, linking together two more bases with infixes, prefixes before word. To express these types, adopts visual elements: facial expression, hand- finger shape, signin...

Language is a dynamic landscape in which words are not fixed landmarks, but fickle signposts that switch their directions as archaic senses are lost and new, more topical senses, are gained. Frequently, entirely new lexical signposts are added as newly minted word-forms enter the language. Some of these new forms are cut from whole cloth and have their origins in creative writing, movies or gam...
