This handbook comprises an in-depth presentation of the state of the
art in word-formation. The five volumes contain 207 articles written
by leading international scholars. The XVI chapters of the handbook
provide the reader, in both general articles and individual studies,
with a wide variety of perspectives: word-formation as a linguistic
discipline (history of science, theoretical concepts), units and
processes in word-formation, rules and restrictions, semantics and
pragmatics, foreign word-formation, language planning and purism,
historical word-formation, word-formation in language acquisition and
aphasia, word-formation and language use, tools in word-formation
research. The final chapter comprises 74 portraits of word-formation
in the individual languages of Europe and offers an innovative
perspective. These portraits afford the first overview of this kind
and will prove useful for future typological research. This handbook
will provide an essential reference for both advanced students and
researchers in word-formation and related fields within linguistics.
