“…Hüning and Booij (2013 (ms)) present a similar analysis of Germanic affixoids being integrated in Germanic compounds, such as the German intensifying element stock ‘lit. stick’, which productively forms part of adjectival compounds such as stockbesoffen ‘very drunk’ and stockconservativ ‘conservative to the core’.…”

This article investigates the recently developed adjectival properties of the French noun clé ‘key’, as attested in for instance un poste très clé ‘a really key position’ and Cette mesure est-elle vraiment clé? ‘Is this measure really key?’. The main purpose of this study is triple: it consists in analysing (i) which adjectival uses can be found in modern French, (ii) to what extent they are accepted by native speakers (from different geographical varieties) of French, and (iii) how they can be accounted for within the framework of Construction Grammar and Construction Morphology. It will be hypothesised that French clé is subject to categorial gradience as a consequence of an ongoing constructionalisation process.

“…Construction-based accounts of affixoids have appeared for, among other languages, German and Dutch (e.g., Michel 2013, Hüning & Booij 2014, Hartmann 2019, Italian (e.g., Masini & Micheli 2020), Hungarian (Kenesei 2007), Chinese (Arcodia 2011, Arcodia & Basciano 2018, and Aivaliot Greek (Ralli 2019). The particular challenge posed by such formations is their inbetween status: They resemble compounds on the one hand and affixations on the other.…”

In recent years, construction-based approaches to morphology have gained ground in the research community. This framework is characterized by the assumption that the mental lexicon is extensive and richly structured, containing not only a large number of stored words but also a wide variety of generalizations in the form of schemas. This review explores two construction-based theories, Construction Morphology and Relational Morphology. After outlining the basic theoretical architecture, the article presents an array of recent applications of a construction-based approach to morphological phenomena in various languages. In addition, it offers reflections on challenges and opportunities for further research. The review highlights those aspects of the theory that have proved particularly helpful in accommodating both the regularities and the quirks that are typical of the grammar of words. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Linguistics, Volume 8 is January 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

“…This is why the concept of affixoids, despite Booij's above-cited caveat, enjoys quite some popularity in constructionist approaches to morphology (see e.g. Booij 2010: 57-66;Battefeld 2014;Hüning & Booij 2014;Norde & Van Goethem 2015;Battefeld et al 2018). As Battefeld (2014: 20f.…”

Compound worlds and metaphor landscapes: Affixoids, allostructions, and higher-order generalizations

This paper investigates the use of German -landschaft ‘landscape’ and -welt ‘world’ as compound constituents. Both occur frequently in metaphorical uses such as Korpuslandschaft ‘corpus landscape’ or Arbeitswelt ‘labor world’. The high productivity of both compound types raises the question of whether [N-landschaft] and [N-welt] form constructions in their own right, both with a collectivizing meaning, and if so, how they relate to their respective higher-order schemas. More specifically, the question arises how the metaphorical-collectivizing uses relate to non-metaphorical ones. As both metaphorical and non-metaphorical reading variants coexist, these patterns show interesting similarities to those semantically bleached compound constituents that have been discussed under the label of “affixoids” in the morphological literature and in recent constructionist approaches. Drawing on synchronic data from the DWDS reference corpus of the 20thcentury and from the webcorpus DECOW16B as well as diachronic data from the German Text Archive, I argue that they form part of a family of collectivizing constructions. On a more theoretical note, I discuss how the higher-order generalizations connecting this family of constructions can be conceptualized.
