About this book

Cognitive linguistics has become an established research paradigm over the last three decades, yet it has done little so far to examine how new words are created, which is the traditional subject of word formation research. This volume tries to change that, bringing cognitive perspectives to several aspects of how words are formed.

It is presented as the first collection to take that step, and it combines contributions from different angles on the topic. Linguists working on lexicology, morphology and cognitive linguistics, and graduate students in those areas, will find it a focused starting point.
