| description |
This doctoral thesis describes in an exhaustive manner the relations established between the derivative processes intervening in nominal formations in Old English, by analysing their interaction, combinability and recursivity. The aim of this work is twofold. On the descriptive side, it contributes to fill the gap on derivational studies for this stage of the language as stated by Kastovsky (1992). On the theoretical domain, the study contributes to the current debate on the position of morphology within linguistics in general and to the discussion on word formation in particular. In the first phase of the research the morphological process that gives way to each of the analysed predicates have been identified. The predicates, along with all their semantic and inflectional properties had previously been filed in the database Nerthus (www.nerthusproject.com). All in all, 16,694 predicates have been studied, of which 2,848 are underived, and 13,670 are complex. Within the complex nouns, 4,084 are derived (1,025 prefixed and 3,052 suffixed), 4,347 are compound and 1,239 are the result of zero-derivation. The second phase of the research accounts for the establishment of the relations between the different predicates, and follows from the principles of analysis that guide the research, among which recategorization, relative ordering of processes, transparency, compositionality, directionality and gradation must be included (Torre Alonso et al. 2008). The main conclusions obtained from this word include the non-existence of a relative ordering of processes, as all processes feed each other in pre-terminal and terminal operations. The study also concludes that recursive lexical creation is richer and much more frequent than non-recursive word formation. In fact, a total of 131 different word structures have been identified containing up to six levels of complexity, according to the number of processes involved. The vast majority of the analysed predicates are three or four-level structures. |

El objetivo de este trabajo tiene dos vertientes claramente demarcadas. En el plano descriptivo, contribuye a llenar el vacío existente para este periodo del inglés como pone de manifiesto Kastovsky (1992). En el plano teórico, el estudio contribuye al debate actual acerca de la posición de la morfología en la lingüística en general y a la discusión sobre la formación de palabras en particular. En la primera fase de análisis se ha identificado el proceso morfológico que da lugar a cada uno de los sustantivos estudiados. Dichos lexemas, así como la información semántica y flexiva habían sido previamente incorporados a la base de datos Nerthus. En total se han analizado 16.694 predicados, de los cuales 2.824 son básicos y 13.670 complejos. Entre los nombres complejos hay 4.084 formados por derivación (1.025 prefijados y 3.059 sufijados), 8.347 nombres compuestos y 1.239 nombres creados mediante derivación cero. La segunda parte de la investigación consiste en el establecimiento de las relaciones entre los distintos predicados de la lengua, y resulta de los principios de análisis que sustentan el estudio y que tienen que ver con la recategorización, el orden relativo de los procesos morfológicos, la transparencia, la composicionalidad, la direccionalidad y la gradualidad de los procesos morfológicos (Torre Alonso et al. 2008). Las conclusiones que se obtienen de dicho análisis son la ausencia de un orden relativo de procesos derivativos. Todos los procesos derivativos se alimentan entre sí en las posiciones pre-terminal y terminal, a excepción de la derivación cero final, que no es alimentada ni por sufijación ni por flexión pre-terminales. También se desprende de este estudio que la creación léxica recursiva es mucho más rica y frecuente que la no productiva, y se han identificado un total de 131 estructuras morfológicas diferentes, distribuidas en 6 niveles de complejidad atendiendo al número de procesos derivativos involucrados. La amplia mayoría de los sustantivos complejos analizados contienen tres o cuatro niveles de complejidad.Universidad de La Rioja (España)Martín Arista, Francisco Javier (Universidad de La Rioja)2009text (thesis)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaites?codigo=20233engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
