Abstract:

This book is an introduction to the study of word-formation, that is,
the ways in which new words are built on the bases of other words
(e.g. happy - happy-ness), focusing on English. The book's didactic
aim is to enable students with little or no prior linguistic knowledge
to do their own practical analyses of complex words. Readers are
familiarized with the necessary methodological tools to obtain and
analyze relevant data and are shown how to relate their findings to
theoretical problems and debates. The book is not written in the
perspective of a particular theoretical framework and draws on
insights from various research traditions, reflecting important
methodological and theoretical developments in the field. It is a
textbook directed towards university students of English at all
levels. It can also serve as a source book for teachers and advanced
students, and as an up-to-date reference concerning many
word-formation processes in English.
