Call for Papers:

The influence of English on word-formation structures in the languages of Europe and beyond
(ESSE-13 seminar, NUI Galway, 22-26 August 2016)

Co-organizers:

– Alexandra Bagasheva, University of Sofia - a.bagasheva at uni-sofia.bg
– Jesús Fernández-Domínguez, University of Valencia - jesusferdom at gmail.com
– Vincent Renner, University of Lyon - vincent.renner at univ-lyon2.fr

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.
