Meeting Description:

In June 2025, it will be 20 years since the first edition of the Word-Formation Theories conference, which mapped the state of the art in the field in combination with the publication of Štekauer & Lieber (eds.) 2005, Handbook of Word-Formation (Dordrecht: Springer). The subsequent period witnessed a dynamic development of word-formation theories, both in breadth and depth. Therefore, the central topic of the 2025 conference will be the developments in word-formation theories in recent decades.
