Analogy in Word-formation - A Study of English Neologisms and Occasionalisms

This book fills a gap in lexical morphology, especially with reference to analogy in English word-formation. Many studies have focused their interest on the role played by analogy within English inflectional morphology. However, the analogical mechanism also deserves investigation on account of its relevance to neology in English. This volume provides in-depth qualitative analyses and stimulating quantitative findings in this realm.

Bericht

"This concise volume is the result of painstaking work and represents a fine contribution to the study of analogy in English word-formation. As a consequence, it will be of considerable interest to specialists in English lexical morphology and scholars who are interested in the role of analogy in shaping the linguistic system."
