Abstract:

Explores how borrowing and word formation are used together and in competition
for naming new concepts in language contact situations

*Includes case studies from a wide range of European languages, including
English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Russian,
Lithuanian and Greek

*Draws on data from dialects and minority and heritage languages,
demonstrating specific perspectives on borrowing in contrast to word formation

*Examines historical data from medieval and early modern periods as well as
contemporary languages

*Formulates generalisations over the case studies in a concluding chapter

Drawing on detailed case studies across a range of languages, including
English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Russian,
Lithuanian and Greek, this book examines the different factors that determine
the outcome of the interaction between borrowing and word formation.

Historically, borrowing has largely been studied from etymological and
lexicographical perspectives and word formation has been included in
morphology. However, this book focuses on their mutual influence and
interaction. Bringing together a range of contributors, each chapter
illustrates how borrowing and word formation are in competition as alternative
naming processes, while also showing how they can influence each other. The
case studies are framed by an introduction that describes the general
background and a conclusion that summarises the main findings.
