Abstract:

The most comprehensive book to date on word formation in terms of scope oftopics, schools and theoretical positions

All contributions were written by the leading scholars in their respectiveareas

This volume, intended both for advanced students and scholars oflinguistics, traces the many strands of study in the field of wordformation that have developed since the seminal work of Marchand and Leesin the 1960s. In mapping the state of the art in the field of wordformation, it avoids a biased approach by presenting different, butmutually complementary frameworks within which research into wordformation has taken place. It covers the historical development oftheories of word formation within generative grammar, and affords a solidintroduction to the treatment of word formation in cognitive grammar,natural morphology, optimality theory, Lexeme Morpheme Base Morphology,onomasiological theory, and other recent frameworks. Each topic ispresented by an expert who has contributed significantly to the field. Inaddition to surveying theoretical developments from both European andNorth American perspectives, it looks specifically at individual Englishword formation processes (derivation, compounding, conversion) and reviewssome of the ways in which they have been analyzed since Marchand'scomprehensive treatment nearly five decades ago.
