Neoclassical Compounding

Special issue of the Verbum journal

Guest Editors: Stéphanie Lignon and Fiammetta Namer

Among all the available morphological processes for lexical creation in
languages, the neoclassical compounding involves specific models. Compounding
is a constructional process during which at least two base lexemes are
combined in order to construct a new lexeme (tea bag). Two types of
compounding may be distinguished: standard compounding (also called popular)
on the one hand which involves the modern vocabulary (porte-bagage), and
neoclassical compounding on the other hand which involves lexemes borrowed
from ancient languages, often Greek and Latin (anthropophage).

Neoclassical compounding was first used to describe the creation of terms in
specialized vocabularies, such as medicine, etc. More recently however, this
type of compounding also provides models for the creation of lexemes which do
not belong to specialized vocabularies, but to the "general" language; e.g.,
théâtrolâtre, publivore. Moreover, automatic identification of such lexemes is
not obvious, while the affixed lexemes may be detected quite easily.

Hence, in addition to the linguistic modeling, the automatic processing of the
neoclassical compounds also requires a specific treatment.

The unsuspected success of the neoclassical compounding within the general
language is our main motivation for this special issue dedicated to
neoclassical compounding.
Special attention will be paid to submissions which establish a link between
corpus processing and formal models, within monolingual and multilingual
contexts, in specialized areas or in general language.

The call welcomes researchers from different areas, whatever their theoretical
schools and trends:
- Linguistics: Lexicon, Terminology, Morphology;
- Natural Language Processing, 
- Psycholinguistics (aspects related to the perception, language learning,
language impairment, etc.).

Important dates: 
- January 30th, 2013: Authors who would like to submit an article addressing
these topics are invited to send their proposal consisting of two pages (plus
references) with their publication project. The abstract should not be
programmatic but should clearly indicate its purpose and present the main
results which will be developed in the article.
- February 28th, 2013: Selection of the communications performed by the
Scientific Committee and notifications sent to the authors.
- June 30th, 2013: Reception of final versions of the articles, which should
contain between 15 and 20 pages. The style sheet will be provided to the
concerned authors with the acceptance notifications.

Please send your submission to S. Lignon (stephanie.lignon at univ-lorraine.fr)
and F. Namer (fiammetta.namer at univ-lorraine.fr).
