Subject: Edited Volume on the Role of Constituents in MWEs

 
Call for Contributions:

Edited volume in the Phraseology and Multiword Expressions (PMWE) book series
(Language Science Press):

''Who nicks the nickname?'' - An interdisciplinary, cross-lingual perspective
on the role of constituents in multi-word expressions

Submission deadline (extended): March 20, 2018

Multi-word expressions (MWEs), such as noun compounds (e.g., ''nickname'' in
English, and ''Ohrwurm'' in German) and complex verbs (e.g., ''give up'' in
English, and ''aufgeben'' in German), often undergo meaning shifts with
respect to their constituents. Theoretical, psycholinguistic as well as
computational linguistic research remain puzzled by how this meaning shift is
processed and computed.

We invite contributions for an interdisciplinary collection in the Phraseology
and Multiword Expressions (PMWE) book series (Language Science Press) that
brings together the most recent findings from the research fields, to examine
how MWE constituents contribute to the processing and representation of MWEs.

The proposed edited volume aims to exploit complementary evidence from
different types of MWE to shed light on the interaction of constituent
properties and compound transparency. We invite specialists across languages
and across research disciplines to contribute to this issue and provide a
cross-linguistic perspective integrating linguistic, psycholinguistic,
corpus-based and computational studies. Important aspects include:

- The investigation of the role of constituent ambiguity,
- Conditions for analogies and meaning shifts,
- The age at which children are affected by constituent transparency,
- Evidence from neologisms,
- The role of empirical constituent properties (e.g., frequency and
productivity).
