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

Hartmann, StefanStefanHartmann2022-11-112022-11-1120142197-2788https://fis.uni-bamberg.de/handle/uniba/56339This 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 perspectivearticle10.1515/gcla-2014-0014
