English Lexicogenesis

ISBN: 9780199689880 出版年：2014 页码：335 Miller, D Gary Oxford University Press

This book investigates the processes by which novel words in English are coined, adopted, and adapted, such as affixation, compounding, and clipping. It looks at the interaction between word-forming operations, expressive morphology, and language play, and will appeal to all those interested in English etymology, lexicography, and morphology.
