Meeting Description:

Trier Center for Language and Communication / Patterns Research Group 
University of Trier, Germany 
October 6- October 7, 2021 
The workshop will be held as a hybrid event (in presence and online). 

The workshop explores a wide range of phenomena that can be subsumed under the
label namebased lexical patterns (NBLPs). These are patterns that emerge by
combining lexical units and proper names according to different word-formation
patterns such as, for example, name-name blends (Brangelina < Brad and
Angelina), name-lexeme-blends (Hitlary < Hitler and Hillary), complex blends
(Gerda Schröckel: Gerhard Schröder and Angela Merkel), proper name compounds
(Kofferschäuble/suitcase-Schäuble), re-interpretations (Joe Byedon), or
derivatives (Selenator < a fan of Selena (Gomez)). 

NBLPs have traditionally played a rather marginal role in studies of
word-formation. Whereas in some accounts they are considered to be rare and
creative, other accounts assume that there is no principled difference between
patterns involving names and other patterns (e.g. Ronneberger-Sibold 2015,
Bauer et al. 2013). Both approaches raise questions, however. Thus, the idea
that such formations are marginal seems difficult to reconcile with recent
empirical work claiming that such forms are highly productive (Kotowski et al.
2021, Filatkina 2019, Beliaeva & Knoblock 2020, Fischer & Wochele 2018),
something that is especially true for non-standard registers such as those
used in social media contexts. Accounts that do not assume that NBLPs are
special often consider examples with and without names to be representative
for a given word-formation category, but often without theoretical commitment.
At the same time, certain patterns have been shown to be different for names
than for non-names (cf. e.g. Lappe 2007, Berg 2011 on name truncation, Nübling
2017). Finally, NBLPs present a challenge to empirical research, as patterns
involving names are notoriously difficult to track in corpora, and names are
often excluded from lexical databases.  

 The workshop seeks to bring together morphological, phonological, semantic,
pragmatic, discourse analytic, and onomastic approaches to the study of NBLPs.
We invite empirical, theoretical, and/or methodological contributions that
shed new theoretical and empirical light on the role of proper names in
word-formation processes and explore the productivity of these patterns across
standard and nonstandard corpora, different topics, discourse domains, and
languages.   

Invited speakers: 
Natalia Beliaeva (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand)
Natalia Filatkina (University of Hamburg, Germany)
Barbara Schlücker (University of Leipzig, Germany)

Organisation: 
The workshop will be held as a hybrid event, offering participants to take
part virtually or in presence (the latter of course only under the
precondition that a face-to-face workshop is compatible with health
regulations at the time of the workshop). Depending on the health situation we
will also be able to move the workshop fully into virtual space. Please
indicate in your application email in which mode you would like to participate
(virtual or in presence) and, if applicable, for which nights you will need
accomodation. You will not have to make your decision definite until Aug. 15,
however. If the health situation changes, later cancellations will of course
also be possible. 

There will be no conference fees; travel costs and accomodation for presenters
will be covered.

Organisers: 
Trier Center for Language and Communication
Sabine Arndt-Lappe (Trier University, Germany)
Milena Belosevic (Trier University, Germany)

Call for Papers: 

Abstracts must not exceed 300 words (excl. references) and should be submitted
as an email attachment to Sabine Arndt-Lappe (arndtlappe at uni-trier.de) and
Milena Belosevic (belosevic at uni-trier.de).

Deadline for abstract submission: July 23, 2021
Notification of acceptance: Aug 02, 2021
