Virtually all European languages have been affected by the ever-increasing global dominance of English over the last decades. Contact-induced borrowing has been amply described at the lexical level and, even if this has been less noted, it also often extends to word-formation structures. We invite submissions on any topic related to incipient morphological borrowing and/or changes in productivity of specific processes (e.g. clipping, blending, conversion) or patterns (e.g. semantic right-headedness in compounding) in order to shed new light on both the singularities and commonalities of this wide-ranging phenomenon in the languages of Europe and beyond. Papers on contrastive, cross-linguistic or methodological issues will be especially welcome.
Abstracts no longer than 500 words (excluding references) should be sent by email to the three co-organizers. The deadline for receiving proposals is 28 February 2016.
