| Opis: | Blending is a word-formation process where a new word is made by combining two or more words. The newly created word is called a blend or a portmanteau word. There are many patterns by which blends are formed. When coining the new word, at least one of the source words has to be shortened. Blends are therefore formed by using fragments of source words. These fragments are called splinters. Besides shortening, blends can also be formed by retaining both source words if they share common sounds or letters.
While many blends become a part of everyday language, some blends quickly disappear after the initial popularity.
The graduation thesis is divided into two parts – theoretical and empirical. The first part is mainly concerned with the theoretical background of the blending process and word-formation in general. It also describes The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) in more detail. The empirical part is based on a corpus analysis, where we research the usage of blends in contemporary English by analysing a selected list of blends from The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). |
