O objetivo desta pesquisa é comparar e explicar as similaridades e diferenças de algumas propriedades semânticas a respeito dos elementos morfológicos usados pelos falantes desses idiomas com vistas a formar palavras por meio de três processos linguísticos: afixação, reduplicação e composição. Com este estudo, buscamos oferecer subsídios para novas pesquisas teóricas e aplicadas a respeito das funções e dos significados presentes na morfologia derivacional do grupo de línguas Pano estudado. Nesse sentido, descrevemos duas classes de prefixos (morfemas partes do corpo e aspectuais), e investigamos como a função locativa e os significados metafóricos são codificados pelo sistema conceptual de prefixação lexical, assim como analisar a função aspectual dos demais prefixos. A respeito da reduplicação, discutimos sua característica icônico-derivacional, sua função aspectual e numeral, e a ordem e significado de suas construções complexas (reduplicações com afixos). Ademais, além de descrevermos a distribuição da composição e seus significados, também analisamos como seus elementos lexicais se configuram da maneira como são observados. Para tanto, utilizamos trabalhos científicos já realizados por estudiosos desses idiomas, disponíveis em teses e outros tipos de publicação. Basicamente, o texto compõe-se de quatro seções, da maneira como se segue. Na introdução (1) apresentamos alguns aspectos etnolinguísticos da família Pano e o quadro teórico-metodológico utilizado na análise. Logo após (2) examinamos o sistema de prefixação e então descrevemos brevemente os sufixos e as construções analíticas do grau aumentativo e diminutivo. Em seguida (3) analisamos a reduplicação e a composição. Na conclusão (4) apresentamos os aspectos tipológicos do sistema de formação de palavras por prefixação, reduplicação, e composição do grupo de línguas Pano selecionado<br>Abstract: This dissertation analyses the system of word-formation in a group of eight languages of the Pano family: Kashibo-Kakataibo, Katukina, Kaxinawa, Matis, Mastsés, Shanenawa, Shipibo-Konibo e Yawanawa - from a functional-typological perspective. The objective of this research is to compare and explain the similarities and differences of some semantic properties related to the morphological elements used by speakers of these languages in order to form words using three linguistic processes: affixation, reduplication and composition. Futhermore, we aim to provide insight into new theoretical and applied research about the functions and meanings present in the derivational morphology of the Pano languages studied. Accordingly, we describe two classes of prefixes (parts of the body and aspectual morphemes), and investigate how locative functions and metaphorical meanings are encoded by the conceptual system of lexical prefixation, as well as analyzing the function of other aspectual prefixes. Regarding reduplication, we discuss its iconic-derivational quality, its aspectual and numeral functions, and the order and meaning of their complex constructions (reduplications with affixes). In addition, besides describing the distribution of the composition and its meanings, we also analyse how its lexical elements are configured in the way they are observed. We used scientific research already published by scholars of these languages, available in theses and other types of publication. Fundamentally, the text is composed of four parts. In the introduction (1) we present some ethnolinguistic aspects of the Pano family and the theoretical and methodological framework used in the analysis, follow by (2) an analysis of the system of prefixation, and a description of the suffixes and analitical constructions of augmentative and diminutive meanings. Next (3) we examine the reduplication and the composition. In conclusion (4) we present the typological aspects of the word-formation system of prefixation, reduplication, and composition of the Pano languages studied<br>Mestrado<br>Linguistica<br>Mestre em Linguística

Lexicalists assume that words with derivational morphology and compound words are not formed by syntactic transformation (Selkirk, 1982). The Lexicalist Hypothesis implies that the principles of universal grammar are not operative to word formation.<br>This thesis argues that a word is composed of lexical constituents and post-lexical constituents, and that the post-lexical constituents can incorporate into a verb, to form the complex predicate. This formational process is subject to syntactic constraints and principles. Therefore, I claim that the principles of universal grammar are also operative to word formation. This hypothesis will throw a new light upon the area of language acquisition of complex predicates.

<p>Titel: New Blends in the English Language</p><p>Författare: Anna Enarsson</p><p>Antal sidor: 29</p><p>Abstract: The aim of this essay was to identify new blends that have entered the English language. Firstly six different word-formation processes, including blending, was described. Those were compounding, clipping, backformation, acronyming, derivation and blending. The investigation was done by using a list of blends from Wikipedia. The words were looked up in the Longman dictionary of 2005 and in a dictionary online. A google search and a corpus investigation were also conducted. The investigation suggested that most of the blends were made by clipping and the second most common form was clipping and overlapping. Blends with only overlapping was unusual and accounted for only three percent. The investigation also suggested that the most common way to create blends by clipping was to use the first part of the first word and the last part of the second word. The blends were not only investigated according to their structure but also according to the domains they occur in. This part of the investigation suggested that the blends were most frequent in the technical domain, but also in the domain of society</p>

This is a study of the substantival medical terminology of Aulus Cornelius Celsus (early 1st c.) and Cassius Felix (mid 5th c.), in the fields of Anatomy and Physiology; Pathology; and Therapeutics. Two broad questions are considered: (1) What were the possible and the preferred means of extending the Latin vocabulary in these technical areas in the first and the fifth century A.D.? (2) May any linguistic features be identified as proper or peculiar to Latin medical - or, more generally, technical - terminology? Chapter 1 presents a general characterisation, based on examples of medical language, of modern technical terminology. Certain features of the structure and composition of the modern terminology are observed also in our Latin authors, especially in Cassius Felix. Chapters 2-5 focus each on one linguistic means of term-formation in Celsus and Cassius Felix. These are (Ch.2:) the use of Greek medical terms within the Latin terminology; (Ch.3:) the use of semantic extension, that is the deployment of established Latin words with new, medical reference (sutura 'stitching' → 'cranial suture'); (Ch.4:) the minimal use of compounding (dentifricium 'tooth-rub'), and the use as single terminological units of lexicalised Noun Phrases, Noun + Adjective (ignis sacer a type of skin-disease) or Noun + Genitive (difficultas urinae 'dysury'), here called "Phrasal Terms"; (Ch.5:) the favouring of certain suffixes in deriving Nouns (and some Adjectives) and the striking correlation between suffix and the lexical-semantic field of the derivative (-or and clinical signs and symptoms: dolor, rubor). Chapter 6 presents comparative figures for the two authors and a general working hypothesis that emerges: namely that divergences between Cassius Felix and Celsus may be interpreted as symptoms of the development of a Latin technical medical terminology (notably the integration of Greek and Latin terminology; reduction in the use of non-metaphorical polysemy; increased use of Phrasal Terms in fixed word order; extended use of suffixation to signal the semantic organisation of the terminology and, additionally, to form nominalisations as part of the development of a heavily-nominal style). A programme is adumbrated for testing this hypothesis. Volume II contains brief historical introductions to Celsus and Cassius Felix, the authors and their works; a Glossary of their medical terminology in three parts (ANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY; PATHOLOGY; THERAPEUTICS); and full word indexes to both authors listed on microfiche.
