Idiomatic Root Merge in Modern Hebrew blends Mike Pham University of Chicago [email protected] Keywords Distributed Morphology, blend, idiom, Modern Hebrew, Locality Constraints Abstract In this paper I use the Distributional Morphology framework and semantic Locality Constraints proposed by Arad (2003) to look at category assignments of blends in Modern Hebrew, as well as blends, compounds and idioms in English where relevant. Bat-El (1996) provides an explicit phonological analysis of Modern Hebrew blends, and argues against any morphological process at play in blend formation. I argue, however, that blends and compounds must be accounted for within morphology due to category assignments. I first demonstrate that blends are unquestion- ably formed by blending fully inflected words rather than roots, and then subsequently reject an analysis that accounts for weakened Locality Constraints by proposing the formation of a new root. Instead, I propose a hypothesis of Idiomatic Root Merge where a root can be an n-place predicate that selects at least an XP sister and a category head. This proposal also entails that there is a structural difference between two surface-similar phrases that have respectively literal and idiomatic meanings.1 1 Introduction Blending is a word-formation process that is highly productive in certain languages, such as Modern Hebrew and English, and much like compounding, involves combining multiple words into a form that behaves as a single syntactic and semantic unit.

It is a record label for Asian artists and also a hybrid management company which not only covers music, art, fashion and culture but also creates a hybrid culture of their own.

  • Harvesting and Understanding On-Line Neologisms Tony Veale, Cristina
    Harvesting and understanding on-line neologisms Tony Veale, Cristina Butnariu 1. Introduction Language is a dynamic landscape in which words are not fixed land- marks, but unstable signposts that switch directions as archaic senses are lost and new, more topical senses are gained. Frequently, entirely new lexical signposts are added as newly minted word forms enter the lan- guage. Some of these new forms are cut from whole cloth and have their origins in creative writing, movies or games. But many are patchwork creations whose origins can be traced to a blend of existing word forms (Dent 2003). This latter type of neologism is of particular interest to the computational lexicographer, since such words possess an obviously compositional structure from which one can begin to infer meaning. In this chapter, we demonstrate that, if given enough semantic context, an automated system can assign a sufficiently rich semantic structure to these words to allow them to be automatically added to an electronic dictionary like WordNet (Miller 1995). When tied to a system for har- vesting new word forms from the internet, this capability allows for a dynamic dictionary that expands itself in response to a changing lan- guage and cultural context. Most neologisms bubble beneath the surface of widespread usage be- fore they gain entry to a conventional dictionary. This is to be ex- pected, since the internet is awash with idiosyncratic neologisms that lack both charm and staying power. Nonetheless, to experience the va- riety and inventiveness of the most creative new words in English, one need look no further than Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org), an open- source electronic encyclopedia that is continuously updated by an on- line community of volunteers.

  • Eleventh International Scientific Conference KNOWLEDGE in PRACTICE 16-18 December,2016 Bansko, Bulgaria PORTMANTEAU WORDS in ENGLISH
    Eleventh International Scientific Conference KNOWLEDGE IN PRACTICE 16-18 December,2016 Bansko, Bulgaria PORTMANTEAU WORDS IN ENGLISH Sanel Hadžiahmetović Jurida, PhD University of Tuzla, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of English Language and Literature – Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina [email protected] Abstract: Languages behave like living organisms, they are created, they live through their own use, and moreover they grow. The growth of a language is indicated by way of numerous processes that occur in it, one of which is word formation. People influence the lexicon of their language in various ways. Sometimes it is the bare necessity that compels us to form new words, other times it is purely accidental. Even though words appear and disappear, the English lexicon retained its present size, in part, due to the creation of new words on the basis of the ones that already exist. Presently, the development of science and technology, and consequently, the Internet brings about a high rate of lexical expansion. This phenomenon is reflected in the changes of vocabulary through creation of new specialized terminology. In any case, newly coined words help people successfully conduct their every day responsibilities as well as leisure time. One manner in which new words are created, chiefly popularised by Lewis Carroll in the 19th century, is blending two words to form a new one, also known as portmanteau. Portmanteau is a word that is familiar to luggage enthusiasts; moreover, it is a word familiar to language enthusiasts as well. Innovative and entertaining, these portmanteau words are ubiquitous in advertising, newspapers, or media.

  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A.The Background of Study Language
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A.The Background of Study Language develops and always changes. Language changes throughout space, social groups, and time. The changes vary because of the fact that new words are created from generation to generation. In line with this phenomenon, Non-Standard English is also developing.The non-standard variety of a language is any version of the language that differs from standard, from slight changes like slang and regional dialect to varieties so different that they are functionally a separate language. Holmes (2001: 183) states that slang belongs to vocabulary area and reflects person age. Slang becomes the privilege of the youth and considered uncommon by an older person in general. In addition, slang belongs to the identity of a particular group. Another definition is from Allan and Burridge (2006: 69); they give definition of slang as the marker of some group of people. The examples are communities shared experiences such as being groups of children at certain school, become particular social groups such as hookers, junkies, jazz, musicians, or professional criminals. Slang is kind of speech variety. Speech variety, or language variety, refers to any distinguishable form of speech used by a speaker or a group of speakers. Linguistic features of a speech variety can be found at the lexical, the phonological, the morphological, or the syntactical level of the language (Dai & He, 2010) 1 2 The use of slang is increasing in music lyrics especially in Hip Hop. Hip Hop songs also use lots of slang words. This phenomenon occurs because most of the singers or target writers are young people.
