Constructing a schema : Word-class changing morphology in a usage-based perspective

Hartmann, StefanStefanHartmann2019-09-192017-12-182017https://fis.uni-bamberg.de/handle/uniba/42799This paper discusses how collostructional analysis can be applied to the study of word-formation patterns. Drawing on a diachronic corpus study of German ung-nominalization and Infinitival Nominalization using the GerManC Corpus, it is shown that a cross-tabulation analysis comparing the frequencies of word-formation products to those of their respective bases can give valuable clues to the input language users rely on when abstracting a schema (i.e., a word-formation construction) from a quite heterogeneous array of instantiations.engConstruction grammarCollostructional analysisWord-formationConstructing a schema : Word-class changing morphology in a usage-based perspectivearticleurn:nbn:de:bvb:473-opus4-505009
