The aim of this paper is to consider some of the implications of this approach by addressing three major issues: i) on the basis of which criteria do we decide which derivational processes are lexical and which are syntactic, ii) how does the FDG approach deal with recursive processes of derivation, and iii) how do these two derivational processes interact with other types of word formation, such as compounding, conversion and back-formation.","PeriodicalId":43166,"journal":{"name":"Word Structure","volume":"11 1","pages":"36-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3366/WORD.2018.0115","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49589861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since most of the IT-related vocabulary originated in English, it is a particular challenge to examine how individual lexical items from this domain are processed as loan words in a receptor language. In this article it will be shown that there is a tendency in present-day German to form verbs denoting the use of online services by means of analogy (e.g. googeln > facebooken, youtuben, whatsappen) and that these verbs already participate in native derivational processes. Significantly, web-based searches performed for this study revealed that they occur in the context of the German inseparable prefixes er-, be-, ent-, ver- and zer- at least in computer-mediated communication. Given this behaviour on the one hand and the restricted use on the other, it is assumed here that these hybrid formations are pragmatically motivated. In particular, they allow Internet users...","PeriodicalId":43166,"journal":{"name":"Word Structure","volume":"10 1","pages":"173-203"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3366/WORD.2017.0107","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42654530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I show that the complex issue of exocentricity is better accounted for if we distinguish between formal and semantic exocentricity. I present Bauer's (2008, 2010) typology of exocentric compounds (bahuvrihi, exocentric synthetic, transpositional exocentric, exocentric co-compounds and metaphorical exocentric compounds) and test the Akan data against them, showing that all Akan compound types (N-A, N-N, N-V, V-N, and V-V) are either exocentric or have exocentric subtypes which fall into three of the five types identified by Bauer. They are bahuvrihi compounds and exocentric synthetic compounds (of which I identify two subtypes each) and transpositional exocentric compounds. I present the properties of each identified type of Akan exocentric compound using formalisms from Construction Morphology (Booij 2010b) in which compounds are word-level constructions capable of...","PeriodicalId":43166,"journal":{"name":"Word Structure","volume":"10 1","pages":"139-172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3366/WORD.2017.0106","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46979878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lohmann","doi":"10.3366/WORD.2017.0108","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3366/WORD.2017.0108","url":null,"abstract":"In the study of the word-formation process of conversion, one particularly difficult task is to determine the directionality of the process, that is, to decide which word represents the base and which the derived word. One possibility to inform this decision that has received only limited attention is to capitalize on word-class-specific phonological properties. This paper empirically investigates this option for English noun-verb conversion by building on recent findings on phonological differences between these two word classes. A large-scale study of phonological properties is carried out on CELEX data, employing the quantitative techniques of conditional inference trees and random forests. An important result of this analysis is that the accuracy of phonological cues varies widely across different subsamples in the data. Essentially this means that phonological cues can be used as a criterion to determine the directionality of words that are at least two syllables in length.
