Einige Bemerkungen zu den produktivsten Wortbildungsstrategien in der deutschen Fachterminologie des Eisenbahnwesens unter der kontrastiven Berücksichtigung des Polnischen

Abstract This article is dedicated to present the most common word-formation strategies in German railway specialist terminology. The presentation of the most productive morphological nomination strategies in the analysed area is preceded by a short historical outline of the railway industry in Germany. The adumbration of the historical background and hints regarding the current EU environmental plans for railways are intended to expose the importance and relentless currency of the analysis undertaken here. The presented examples, which were extracted from the most extensive industry terminology database, RaiLLexic, have been correlated with their Polish equivalents. This contrastive procedure allows, going further, to draw conclusions about both language systems within which the professional terminology described here is constituted.

The Relationship

Eesti 19. sajandi väljapaistev keeleteadlane, entsüklopedist ja helilooja Karl August Hermann (1851–1909) toob välja tunnused, mis võiksid osutada ugri, st soome-ugri ning altai keelte, sh eesti ja soome keele sugulusele hiina keelega. Ta vaatleb sõnatüvesid ja -juuri, sõnamoodustust, võimalikke ühiseid tüvesid, sarnaseid lausungeid ning omastava käände ja omadussõnalise täiendi asendit, mis võiksid osutada erinevate kaugete keelte sugulusele. Ta teeb järelduse, et hiina keel on soome-ugri ja altai keeltega suguluses. Hermanni saksakeelne artikkel, mis ilmus aastal 1895, on tõlgitud eesti keelde. Abstract. Karl August Hermann: About the relationship of Chinese with the Ugrian languages and especially with the Finnish-Estonian (1895). Karl August Hermann (1851–1909), an eminent Estonian linguist, encyclopedist and composer in the nineteenth century, identifies features that might indicate the affinity of Ugrian, i.e. Finno-Ugric and Altaic languages, including Estonian and Finnish, with Chinese. He looks at word stems and roots, word formation, possible common word stems, similar utterances, and the position of the genitive and the adjective in relation to the noun that might indicate the affinity of different distant languages. He concludes that Chinese is related to Finno- Ugric and Altaic languages. Hermann’s forgotten article, published in German in 1895, has been translated into Estonian by Urmas Sutrop.

This chapter is a description of Persian morphology, which intends to provide a general sketch of the morphological features and processes found in Persian. Therefore, after a general study of the Persian morphemes, nominal and verbal morphologies of Persian are introduced, together with a description of the compounding process in both, as well as other methods of word formation in Persian. In our general sketch of the Persian Morphemes, lexical and functional morphemes are presented, and in the study of functional morphemes, free and bound ones have been studied. In terms of Persian nominal morphology, our study of the pronominal morphology preceeds the study of the nouns, and in verbal morphology, the verb with its structure and functions has been studied. In a separate part on compounding, this very common word-formation process of Persian has been presented, and the minor word-formation types of Persian morphology have also been considered.

Semantic Properties

Compounding is a common word-formation process in Yoruba which is instantiated by different compound structures and types. However, in Yoruba personal names, compounds may exhibit significant formal and semantic properties that reflect certain constructional schemas in grammar. Hence, using the framework of construction morphology, this paper examines various schemas in Yoruba compound personal names and the internal features of these schemas. Based on data collected from personal interviews and native speaker intuition, I show that Yoruba personal names are constructions involving complex structural schemas which constitute a form-meaning pair where there are internal features that are not only semantic but syntactic and phonological. Furthermore, the paper reveals that several compound patterns may occur in Yoruba names including N-N, N-V, V-N, N-A and N-Av and that phonological processes in these schemas may be unique to the name constructions.

Compounding is a common word-formation process in Bahasa Indonesia (BI) and English (EN) as it can be found in constructions of the words headline, headmaster, and kepala berita, kepala sekolah in BI, which are widely used by the speakers of the languages. This study scrutinizes the constructions and the senses of lexeme HEAD and KEPALA from contrastive linguistic perspective. It aims at describing (1) The constructions of compound words containing lexeme HEAD and (2) the extended senses of lexeme HEAD in the compound word constructions in BI and EN. The data, taken from Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia and Cambridge Online Dictionary, were collected and analyzed using contrastive analysis. The data were collected and analyzed through observation and close reading techniques. The discussion highlighted the similarities and differences of the constructions and extended senses of compound words containing lexeme HEAD. In BI, lexeme kepala is combined with nouns, adjectives, while in English lexeme HEAD is combined with nouns, adjectives, gerunds, and prepositions. In BI the extended senses of lexeme head refer to leader, hair, the most important, the tip of things, and personality, while there are six extended senses in EN, namely leader, hair, the most important part, the tip of things, personality, and movement. The extensions show human creativity to produce and comprehend metaphors and metonymy in context to express ideas that are abstract with something more familiar and concrete

This research was aimed to analyze the types word formation and their processes which found in English articles of VOA News. This research used descriptive qualitative approach. The method in collecting the data was by searching the data in VOA News related to the articles of education, health, and science and technology. The data that contained word formation were collected and classified them based on its categories, then analyzed them based on the processes of how the words are formed. The results of this research showed that there were six types of word formation found in the VOA News articles, they were derivation, compound, acronym, initialism, clipping/ abbreviation, and conversion. From those types, compound was the most common word formation found in the articles because it was the basic division in forming the words.
