Abstract

Abstract The present study examines the fate of the neoclassical combining form pseudo- in eight European languages, belonging to Germanic (Danish, Dutch, English, German and Swedish) and Romance (French, Italian, Spanish). In order to gain a better understanding of the synchronic morphological behaviour and productivity of pseudo- words in these languages, we carry out a cross-linguistic corpus analysis and compare the morphological and distributional properties of pseudo- . We also analyse its debonding behaviour and categorical flexibility in the set of languages and correlate this property with its productivity. The results of the corpus study are discussed against the typological background of the so-called Germanic and Romance Sandwiches.

“伪”字的命运

摘要本研究考察了8种欧洲语言中新古典主义组合形式pseudo-的命运，这些语言属于日耳曼语(丹麦语、荷兰语、英语、德语和瑞典语)和罗曼语(法语、意大利语、西班牙语)。为了更好地了解这些语言中假词的共时形态行为和生产力，我们进行了跨语言语料库分析，并比较了假词的形态和分布特征。我们还分析了它在一组语言中的脱键行为和分类灵活性，并将这一属性与它的生产力联系起来。语料库研究的结果是在所谓的日耳曼和浪漫三明治的类型背景下讨论的。
