“…Nevertheless, some authors have argued that these compounds present a secondary stress. These claims stem from the presence of a phonologically unreduced vowel in the first root (Bernal 2012, Prieto 2014. 1 Prieto (2014: 45-46) considers verb + noun compounds as Figure 2 Waveform, f0 curve, and prosodic annotation of the compound obrellaunes 'can opener' (left) and the sentence Obre llaunes '(S/he) opens cans' .…”

Phonetic and phonological vowel reduction in Central Catalan

In Central Catalan, phonological vowel reduction causes the stressed seven-vowel system to reduce in number in unstressed position, where only the three reduced vowels [iəu] can occur. Exceptionally, full vowels (typically expected in a stressed syllable only) can appear in unstressed syllables in certain contexts. This study explores the acoustic characteristics of phonologically unreduced vowels found exceptionally in unstressed position in Central Catalan and compares them to stressed full vowels and corresponding unstressed (phonologically reduced) vowels. Results show that, contrary to traditional descriptions, presumably phonologically unreduced vowels in verb + noun compounds sporadically undergo phonological vowel reduction. When they do not, they are shorter than stressed vowels and more centralized in the F1*F2 vowel space. In addition, stressed full vowels do not differ in accented vs. unaccented contexts in duration or vowel quality, indicating that vowels are hyperarticulated under lexical stress, but not when they receive intonational pitch accent. The findings contribute to a body of cross-linguistic research dealing with the influence of prosody at the segmental level.

“…Ahora bien, como se observa en el contexto, esta palabra se utiliza de forma despectiva para hablar de una persona joven con un aspecto desaliñado. En cuanto a la formación, semánticamente no es predictible en el sentido que las dos unidades que forman el compuesto no pertenecen al mismo campo conceptual como sucede en general en los compuestos coordinados, especialmente en nombres de profesiones, como en 'magistrado juez' (Bernal, 2012). En Cabré, Freixa y Solé (1997/2002 también hablan de incompatibilidad cuando los componentes coordinados presentan características diferentes.…”

Los neologismos desde una perspectiva funcional: Correlación entre percepción y datos empíricos

This research focuses on the function of neologisms and casts serious doubts on the applicability of the traditional dichotomy 'denominative neologisms' and 'stylistic neologisms'. Although this classification is widely mentioned in the literature on neology, both from a theoretical and applied perspective it shows some limitations that call into question that they really work as opposing categories (Llopart-Saumell, 2016). The starting point of this study is a linguistic survey based on the perception of the speakers: participants were asked to classify a set of neologisms in Catalan (in context) in denominative, stylistic or with both values (denominative and stylistic). Then, we study the degree of coincidence of the results obtained and, finally, we contrast them with sociolinguistic (frequency and stability of use), discursive (context and discursive position) and linguistic data (morpho-semantic) of each of the neologisms. The results point out that those neologisms considered stylistic have a higher degree of coincidence than those considered denominative, because they share some features, especially linguistic and discursive, that seem to make them easier to be identified as such. In this sense, those neologisms classified as denominative show a lower degree of coincidence and the number of units classified with both values increases. Regarding the different aspects contrasted with the results, we can observe that the different criteria do no not work autonomously, but they complement each other.

“…6-8) têm comportamento funcional-pragmático em tudo idêntico aos demais compostos, sendo criadas e usadas pelos falantes, tal como os restantes tipos de compostos, para suprir necessidades de denominação de novas realidades. Por isso, e não obstante a flutuação conceptual e terminológica, estas unidades multilexicais continuam a ser encaradas como 'compostos sintagmáticos' por diversos autores, como Bernal (2012), Buenafuentes de la Mata (2010) Em suma, construções [NprepN] N são unidades multilexicais tendencialmente monorreferenciais, dotadas de fixidez formal e (em graus diversos) semântica, propriedades comuns às várias classes de compostos. Ignorar ou desvalorizar o facto de se tratar de um padrão de sintagmação lexical muito produtivo (roda dos alimentos, rosa dos ventos) e enraizado nas línguas românicas, marcado pela intensa opacidade interna, nada igual à abertura e variabilidade dos sintagmas nominais livres (roda de amigos, roda do moinho; rosa do jardim, rosa do canteiro, rosa de inverno), leva a considerá--los como construções fixas, com poder denominativo, algo que os sintagmas nominais livres não têm como definitório.…”

Resumo:A composição é um terreno fértil de reflexão e de polémica, estando no centro de algumas discussões teóricas sobre a arquitetura da gramática, do léxico, da lexicogénese e das interfaces entre léxico, morfologia, sintaxe. Neste texto exploram-se alguns dos limites internos e externos da composição, nomeadamente com a afixação -prefixação e sufixação (secção 3)-e com a sintagmação (secção 4). Observaremos de que modo os contornos entre composição neoclássica e afixação são marcados por significativa porosidade, traduzidas por mudanças no estatuto morfolexical de alguns radicais neoclássicos que tendem a assumir valor sufixal. Descrevem-se as diferenças entre compostos sintagmáticos [NprepN] N e sintagmas nominais com a mesma configuração, e avaliam-se as dimensões caracterizadoras dos compostos [NprepN] N das línguas românicas, com ênfase nos das línguas portuguesa, espanhola e italiana.Palavras-chave: composição, prefixação, sintagmas, formação de palavras, morfologia, língua portuguesa, língua espanhola. Abstract:Compounding is both a fruitful and a controversial field of research, and can be found at the center of a number of theoretical discussions on the architecture of grammar, of the lexicon, of lexicogenesis and the interface between lexicon, morphology and syntax. This study explores some of the internal and external boundaries of compounding, principally with affixation -prefixation and suffixation (section 3)-and with phrasal noun constructions (section 4). We will see how the boundaries between neoclassical
