O objetivo desta pesquisa é comparar e explicar as similaridades e diferenças de algumas propriedades semânticas a respeito dos elementos morfológicos usados pelos falantes desses idiomas com vistas a formar palavras por meio de três processos linguísticos: afixação, reduplicação e composição. Com este estudo, buscamos oferecer subsídios para novas pesquisas teóricas e aplicadas a respeito das funções e dos significados presentes na morfologia derivacional do grupo de línguas Pano estudado. Nesse sentido, descrevemos duas classes de prefixos (morfemas partes do corpo e aspectuais), e investigamos como a função locativa e os significados metafóricos são codificados pelo sistema conceptual de prefixação lexical, assim como analisar a função aspectual dos demais prefixos. A respeito da reduplicação, discutimos sua característica icônico-derivacional, sua função aspectual e numeral, e a ordem e significado de suas construções complexas (reduplicações com afixos). Ademais, além de descrevermos a distribuição da composição e seus significados, também analisamos como seus elementos lexicais se configuram da maneira como são observados. Para tanto, utilizamos trabalhos científicos já realizados por estudiosos desses idiomas, disponíveis em teses e outros tipos de publicação. Basicamente, o texto compõe-se de quatro seções, da maneira como se segue. Na introdução (1) apresentamos alguns aspectos etnolinguísticos da família Pano e o quadro teórico-metodológico utilizado na análise. Logo após (2) examinamos o sistema de prefixação e então descrevemos brevemente os sufixos e as construções analíticas do grau aumentativo e diminutivo. Em seguida (3) analisamos a reduplicação e a composição. Na conclusão (4) apresentamos os aspectos tipológicos do sistema de formação de palavras por prefixação, reduplicação, e composição do grupo de línguas Pano selecionado / Abstract: This dissertation analyses the system of word-formation in a group of eight languages of the Pano family: Kashibo-Kakataibo, Katukina, Kaxinawa, Matis, Mastsés, Shanenawa, Shipibo-Konibo e Yawanawa - from a functional-typological perspective. The objective of this research is to compare and explain the similarities and differences of some semantic properties related to the morphological elements used by speakers of these languages in order to form words using three linguistic processes: affixation, reduplication and composition. Futhermore, we aim to provide insight into new theoretical and applied research about the functions and meanings present in the derivational morphology of the Pano languages studied. Accordingly, we describe two classes of prefixes (parts of the body and aspectual morphemes), and investigate how locative functions and metaphorical meanings are encoded by the conceptual system of lexical prefixation, as well as analyzing the function of other aspectual prefixes. Regarding reduplication, we discuss its iconic-derivational quality, its aspectual and numeral functions, and the order and meaning of their complex constructions (reduplications with affixes). In addition, besides describing the distribution of the composition and its meanings, we also analyse how its lexical elements are configured in the way they are observed. We used scientific research already published by scholars of these languages, available in theses and other types of publication. Fundamentally, the text is composed of four parts. In the introduction (1) we present some ethnolinguistic aspects of the Pano family and the theoretical and methodological framework used in the analysis, follow by (2) an analysis of the system of prefixation, and a description of the suffixes and analitical constructions of augmentative and diminutive meanings. Next (3) we examine the reduplication and the composition. In conclusion (4) we present the typological aspects of the word-formation system of prefixation, reduplication, and composition of the Pano languages studied / Mestrado / Linguistica / Mestre em Linguística

随着社会的发展，尤其是互联网的发展，很多语言每年都涌现出了不少新词汇。词语是每个语言最基本也是最重要的组成部分，因此分析这些新词汇的结构特点以及构词法是很有意义的。这篇文章分析了2014年出现在中文里的新词汇和它们的构词方式，论文的目的是为了更好地了解中文词汇的发展和特点。本文以《2014汉语新词语》中公布的2014年出现的新词汇作为语料进行分析，发现了以下两个主要特点：第一，合成法，派生法，缩略法是2014年产生的新词汇的主要构词方式；第二， 百分之七十二的新词汇是多音节词（包含三个或者三个以上音节），而百分之八十的是名词。这些特点说明中文词汇现阶段的特点和发展趋势，跟传统的中文词汇有不同之处。 / The aim of this thesis was to investigate how new Chinese words are formed and to examine the linguistic patterns among them. This thesis focused on the analysis of Chinese words formed in 2014. The quantitative data for the analysis included a collection of 423 new Chinese words from the book 2014 汉语新词语 (hànyǔxīn cíyǔ) by Hou and Zhou. Parts of speech and number of syllables in the new words were investigated, although the focus was on word-formation processes. A discussion of derivation, blending, abbreviation, analogy, borrowing, change of meaning, compounding and inventions is also included. The share of each word-formation process used for each of the new words was presented statistically in order to reveal the significance of each word-formation process. The analysis showed that compounding, derivation and abbreviation were the major word-formation processes in 2014. The study also suggests that words formed by derivation and analogy were much more frequent in 2014, in comparison to previous studies. Furthermore, the ways words are formed in Chinese are changing and evolving, as some word-formation processes are becoming more frequently used in the formation of new words.

Suppletion is a term used to describe the occurrence of unpredictable and irregular patterns. Although typological research has been devoted to verb suppletion, not as much attention has been given to suppletion in nominal and adjectival paradigms. The thesis presents the cross-linguistic distribution of nominal and adjectival suppletion. The lexical distribution as well as the features involved are presented. The results of nominal suppletion show that nouns referring to humans are most often suppletive, that number is the most common grammatical feature involved in nominal suppletion and that „child‟ is by far the most common noun to be suppletive cross-linguistically. The results on adjectival suppletion show that adjectival suppletion is well spread though not very common cross-linguistically. A study of 8 Semitic languages shows that „woman‟ versus „women‟ are stable suppletive forms in this language family.

The purpose of this essay is to identify functional shifts and semantic changes in the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game Lord of the Rings Online. The focus is on new uses of established terms in Standard English and the intent is to see how the word formation processes work in an online gaming environment, and identify the possible reasons behind them. Due to the lack of previous studies of language in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, the aim is to provide some insight into some of the language developments that occur in such an environment. A quantitative method has been utilised in order to distinguish patterns, and the material, in the form of chat logs, has been gathered from Lord of the Rings Online. The chat logs have then been used to create a corpus, and, from this point, a qualitative method has been employed. The corpus has been thoroughly analysed for the words which have undergone functional shifts and/or semantic changes, and a selection of these words are presented and discussed based on word formation process. The findings in this study seem to confirm that language changes in a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game follow the same patterns as in other environments.

This master thesis is dealing with the preference of certain categorical structures (VN compounds, nominal syntagmas N de N, N à N and their English equivalent) to denotate a new referent. Its aim is to describe current trends of denominative instrumental neology. The thesis is dividend into two parts: teoretical and practical. Theoretical part provides a brief characteristics of the concerned fields: neology, neologism, compounding, nominal syntagmas and productivity. Practical part includes survey and compares its results with corpus analyses and data obtained from Google browser.

The aim of this thesis is to analyse and describe the Middle English adjectival innovations of native origin coming into existence by prefixation in the period of 1200-1400. The formations are described from the point of view of their word-formation and semantics, the individual word- formation patterns are identified and analysed in terms of their productivity. In the theoretical part we present three points of view - social, typological and word-formational - which allow us to formulate our hypothesis consisting in the assumption that the native prefixation will exhibit gradual signs of decreasing productivity, brought about both by the language-external and language-internal causes - the language being overwhelmed by the an influx of foreign elements due to political and social situation at the time; as well as gradual phonological and semantic non- transparency of the native prefixes. The empirical part is based on the analysis of the 219 adjectives retrieved from the Oxford English Dictionary. Our results show that 7 out of 13 prefixes are decreasing in productivity or unproductive, yet the situation is not homogeneous and we were able to identify eight possible scenarios of development in productivity patterns. Our hypothesis is thus confirmed only partially - both the extra and...

This diploma thesis takes a comprehensive look at the matter of prefixation in contemporary Spanish and it is therefore divided into two parts. In the first one, we occupy ourselves with the area of constructional morphology and tackle theoretical matters. From the more general topics of word formation we then proceed to prefixation itself which we then attempt to define and describe in more detail. We outline the issues of concept delimitations, definition of prefixation, classification of prefixes and other controversial matters related to this process in the Spanish language. The second part of the thesis is of a more practical nature. There, we focus on the semantic meanings (locative and gradative) some prefixes may acquire. We then concentrate on specific prefixes (entre-, inter-, sobre-, super-), their distribution among word classes, and finally, using InterCorp, a parallel language corpus, we study Czech equivalents of selected elements.

The presented thesis describes the typology of current names of professions in healthcare in terms of onomasiology and structural-morphology. The starting point of the thesis is the existing professional linguistic description of naming structures implemented as one-word names and nominal collocations. The language material consists of the names of professions in healthcare that are currently used. The names are classified in terms of word-formation, lexical semantics and the origin of words.

[pt] O trabalho investiga os processos lexicais pertinentes à formação de novos itens através do não- anteposto a substantivos e adjetivos, incluindo os aspectos semânticos relevantes. Abordam-se inicialmente a derivação e a composição, na medida em que estes macro-processos de formação se colocam como hipóteses alternativas para a explicação do emprego lexical do elemento negativo não, tradicionalmente classificado apenas como advérbio. Expõe-se a visão trazida pela gramática tradicional, concluindo-se que esta não explica o fenômeno de modo satisfatório. Revisa-se a literatura produzida até o momento sobre o não ocorrendo em função diversa da de advérbio, observando-se grande divergência de abordagens. Apresentadas e analisadas as ocorrências do não- anteposto, opta-se pela derivação como explicação mais conveniente para o tópico investigado, que inclui a questão de estabelecer critérios de discriminação entre as construções que constituem novas palavras e as que devem ser excluídas do rol das novas formações. A análise é baseada em dois corpora representativos – o CORPOBRAS PUC RIO e o CORPUS NILC, que foram comparados em relação ao fenômeno investigado. A pesquisa foi parcialmente feita com base nos mecanismos e metodologias ditadas por pesquisadores da Lingüística de Corpus, tendo sido utilizadas ferramentas computacionais e o conceito de corpus definidos por estes autores. A partir da referida análise, verifica-se que nem todos os itens formados por não- seguido por nome configuram novas formações lexicais, uma vez que muitos dos exemplos estudados revelam aspectos sintáticos predominantes. Quanto à questão semântica, concluiu-se que os significados são relativamente delimitados, existindo algumas exceções. A pesquisa aponta ainda para a presença de possíveis aspectos estilísticos nestas formas. / [en] This work investigates lexical processes underlying the formation of não- X nouns and adjectives in Portuguese, taking into account both morphological and semantic aspects. We approach first the two main word formation possibilities, derivation and compounding, as they correspond to the possible alternative hypotheses for the use of não in word formation, since this lexical item is traditionally considered only as an adverb. Traditional approaches to the topic are described and considered insufficient to explain the phenomena in a satisfactory manner. More recent descriptive proposals on the subject are analyzed and their controversies commented upon. The data favor the analysis of não-X constructions in Portuguese as a case of derivation, specially in what concerns the need to establish criteria to classify não-X constructions as new words. The data were collected from two corpora – the CORPOBRAS PUC-RIO and the CORPUS NILC, which were compared as for the phenomena in question. The work is based, to a great extent, on the mechanisms and methodologies proposed by Corpus Linguistics researchers, with the use of computational tools and the conception of corpora as defined by CL authors. As a result of the analysis, it is proposed that not every não-X occurrence constitutes a new lexical item, since many of the studied examples reveal predominance of syntactic aspects. As for the semantic question, it has been observed that the meanings of the não-X constructions are partially predictable, in spite of some exceptions. The research also indicates the presence of some stylistic possibilities for the use of the não X construction.

Cette thèse vise à traiter les verbes composés en japonais et les verbes préverbés en polonais comme faisant partie des constructions verbales à prédicat complexe. D’abord, la notion de la formation des mots et, par conséquent, la notion de « mot », sont examinées par les analyses entre les mots (ortho)graphiques et prosodiques ; le problème d’espace entre les mots et différents systèmes d’accentuation sont pris en compte. D’une part, l’analyse des verbes composés japonais remonte jusqu’aux deux premières grammaires au XVIIe siècle, celle de Rodriguez et de Collado, dont la première propose la dichotomie entre les verbes composés à « mode de l’action » et à « particule ». Ensuite suivent les analyses des verbes composés contemporains, avec un accent particulier sur un certain nombre de couples de verbes transitifs et intransitifs en second élément du composé. D’autre part, la typologie des constructions préverbales de la langue polonaise est examinée. Enfin, à travers la comparaison multilingue du Petit prince de Saint-Exupéry entre l’original et deux traductions japonaises et deux polonaises, une typologie des constructions verbales à prédicat complexe est proposée, ce qui fait écho au choix de notre langue de rédaction, le français servant de pivot afin d’examiner diverses constructions verbales de nos langues de comparaison, le japonais et le polonais : composition verbale et construction converbale pour le premier et préverbation et construction infinitivale à semi-auxiliaire pour le second. / This thesis seeks to analyse Japanese compound verbs and Polish prefixed verbs as a part of complex predicate verbal constructions. First, the notion of word-formation and consequently that of word are examined by analyses between (ortho)graphic and prosodical words, which include problems of word space and several accentual systems. Next, this analysis of compound verbs goes back to 17th century with the first two Japanese grammars by Rodriguez and Collado, respectively, where the former proposes a dichotomy between manner of action and particle verbal compounds. Then follows an analysis of contemporary Japanese compound verbs, with particular emphasis on some pairs of transitive and intransitive verbs in the second element of compound. Contrastingly, a typology of verbal prefix constructions in Polish is considered and reviewed. Finally, through a multilingual comparison of The Little Prince, by Saint-Exupéry, using two translations in each of Japanese and Polish, a typology of complex predicate verbal constructions is put forward which corresponds with the language, French, in which this thesis is written and which serves as a pivot for the examination of various verbal constructions of the languages for comparison, Japanese and Polish: verbal compounding and converbal construction for the former, verbal prefixation and infinitival auxiliary construction for the latter.
