<br/><br/>Word formation, meaning and lexicalization -- Semiproductivity and the place of word formation in grammar -- Lexicalization in generative morphology and conceptual structue -- Term formation in a special language -- Nominal compounds as naming devices -- Semantic and formal structure -- The semantics of lexical modification -- Semantic transparency and anaphoric islands -- Semantic coindexation -- Deverbal nominalizations in English -- Degrees of lexicalization in Ancient Greek deverbal nouns -- How many factors influence the meaning of denominal an deadjectival verbs? -- Analysing en- and its Romance equivalens in Jackenduff's conceptual structure -- Semantics of diminutivization. 
<br/><br/> In this book, the focus is on the semantic aspect of the formation of new words rather than on generating the form as is more traditional. Each chapter concentrates on a specific question about a theoretical concept or a word formation process in a particular language and adopts a theoretical framework that is appropriate to the study of this question.
