Abstract

Recently, it has been frequently observed in the Korean language that a portion of a word actively participates in the process of word formation in a fixed form. However, there is a lack of clear discussions regarding the morphological status of this “fixed element” whether it has a morphological status, what kind of morphological status it possesses if it does, and how it is formed. Therefore, this study aims to argue that such “fixed elements” can have a morphological status. By focusing on the phenomenon where elements that were previously used as part of a word appear productively in the process of word formation and acquire new function, the study aims to typologize how they are formed and what they become based on morphological reanalysis. These results suggest that fixed elements that were not morphemes in the process of neologism formation become “combining form”.

词形要素的形态学再分析

最近，在韩语中经常可以观察到词的一部分以固定的形式积极参与构词过程。然而，关于这种 "固定语素 "的形态地位，它是否具有形态地位，如果具有形态地位，它具有什么样的形态地位，以及它是如何形成的，都缺乏明确的讨论。因此，本研究旨在论证这种 "固定元素 "可以具有形态地位。本研究通过关注以前作为词的一部分的语素在组词过程中出现并获得新功能的现象，旨在根据形态学再分析，对这些语素的形成过程及其功能进行类型化。这些结果表明，在新词形成过程中，原本不是语素的固定语素变成了 "组合形式"。

期刊介绍： Aim The aim of Morphology is to publish high quality articles that contribute to the further articulation of morphological theory and linguistic theory in general, or present new and unexplored data. Relevant empirical evidence for the theoretical claims in the articles will be provided by in-depth analyses of specific languages or by comparative, cross-linguistic analyses of the relevant facts. The sources of data can be grammatical descriptions, corpora of data concerning language use and other naturalistic data, and experiments. Scope Morphology publishes articles on morphology proper, as well as articles on the interaction of morphology with phonology, syntax, and semantics, the acquisition and processing of morphological information, the nature of the mental lexicon, and morphological variation and change. Its main focus is on formal models of morphological knowledge, morphological typology (the range and limits of variation in natural languages), the position of morphology in the architecture of the human language faculty, and the evolution and change of language. In addition, the journal deals with the acquisition of morphological knowledge and its role in language processing. Articles on computational morphology and neurolinguistic approaches to morphology are also welcome. The first volume of Morphology appeared as Volume 16 (2006). Previous volumes were published under the title Yearbook of Morphology.
