Linguistic Innovation, Morphological Productivity, and Ludicity
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018
1 694 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The creation of new lexical units and patterns has been studied in different research frameworks, focusing on either system-internal or system-external aspects, from which no comprehensive view has emerged. The volume aims to fill this gap by studying dynamic processes in the lexicon – understood in a wide sense as not being necessarily limited to the word level – by bringing together approaches directed to morphological productivity as well as approaches analyzing general types of lexical innovation and the role of discourse-related factors. The papers deal with ongoing changes as well as with historical processes of change in different languages and reflect on patterns and specific subtypes of lexical innovation as well as on their external conditions and the speakers’ motivations for innovating. Moreover, the diffusion and conventionalization of innovations will be addressed. In this way, the volume contributes to understanding the complex interplay of structural, cognitive and functional factors in the lexicon as a highly dynamic domain.

Patterns in Language and Communication
Between Theoretical Grounding and Empirical Methods
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

Kommande
Bringing together linguistics and media and communication studies, this volume showcases interdisciplinary perspectives on the nature of patterns in language and communication. Defining ‘patterns’ as empirical surface phenomena, the contributions focus on a strictly empirical, data-driven perspective, demonstrating the wide range of different phenomena that can be described as ‘patterns’ and the methodological challenges involved. At the same time, they discuss the role of theoretical grounding in describing and explaining patterns. It is this grounding which provides the minimal units that make up patterns, and which explains their inherently variable nature.

Creativity and Routine in Word-Formation and Multi-Word Expressions

Both word-formation (WF) and the coinage of multi-word expressions (MWE) can be characterised in terms of creativity and routine. Routine in word-formation and multi-word expressions is traditionally described in terms of morphological, lexical, syntactic, and pragmatic rules, but ‘creativity’ is defined in different ways, with definitions ranging from seeing creativity at the heart of human (linguistic) cognition to seeing creativity as precisely beyond ‘regular’ routines, e.g. as an attention-seeking tool or wordplay. In this latter sense, ‘creativity’ is usually sharply distinguished from ‘productivity’, i.e. rule-governed behaviour. Despite these categorisations, the question on what basis patterns are to be defined as ‘creative’ still remains subject to debate. Futhermore, creativity and routine are often studied independently of each other, by different research communities. The volume aims to bring together these different research communities to discuss empirical evidence on the role of creativity and routinization in WF and MWEs.
