“…A recent example of a unit that qualifies as a confix is -gate referring to scandals, which originates in a reanalysis of Watergate and has become productive not only in English but also in other languages. In their study of -gate in German, Flach, Kopf & Stefanowitsch (2018) argue that -gate is best analyzed as a confix. Norde & Sippach (2019: 356), discussing -gate in English, describe it as a libfix.…”

Derivational word-formation processes play an important role in the Germanic languages. In particular, prefixation and suffixation are highly productive. In accordance with the so-called right-hand head principle, suffixes tend to determine the morphological category of a word, and are therefore often category-changing (e.g., verb to noun), while prefixes can lead to changes regarding the valency or case government of the items to which they attach. Derivational patterns differ in various aspects, including the degree to which they modify the semantics of their bases and their morphological productivity.

“…The morphological status of -gate is subject to debate (seeFlach et al 2018: 246-247), but there is an emerging consensus that it can be seen as a combining form Flach et al (2018). use the alternative term confix for this, while Norde and Sippach (2019) adopt a term proposed by Arnold Zwicky in a blog post and call such "liberated" parts of words libfixes.13 See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koreagate (last checked 22/10/2022)…”

Construction Grammar (CxG) has developed into a broad and highly diverse family of approaches that have in common that they see constructions, i.e. form-meaning pairs at various levels of abstraction and complexity, as the basic units of language. This “element” gives an overview of the origin and the current state of the art of constructionist approaches, focusing, on the one hand, on basic concepts like the notion of “constructions”, while at the same time offering an in-depth discussion of current research trends and open questions. We discuss the commonalities and differences between the major constructionist approaches, the organization of constructional networks as well as ongoing research on linguistic creativity, multimodality and individual differences.
