Abstract:

This book presents the onomasiological approach to word formation and applies
it to neoclassical formations, using data taken from English and Russian
medical terminology. 

The phenomenon of neoclassical formations is challenging for morphological
theory because it raises questions about determining its boundaries as a
distinct category. The difficulties of differentiating between compounding and
affixation, between blending and compounding, and between word formation and
borrowing represent key problematic areas here. The basic underlying
hypothesis considered in this book is that the position of neoclassical
formations in English and Russian is different. It will be argued that,
whereas in English, neoclassical word formation is a system of word formation,
Russian has only individual borrowings.

This hypothesis and the theoretical problems it entails are viewed from the
perspective of Štekauer’s onomasiological theory of word formation. Štekauer’s
theory takes the needs of the speech community as its starting point in
explaining word formation. In this theory, the different analyses of
neoclassical formations in English and Russian can be accounted for in an
intuitively appealing and theoretically elegant way. As naming needs are
central, word formation and borrowing can be analysed as alternative responses
activating different components of the language system.
