Defining paradigms in word formation: concepts, data and experiments

Résumé

In the wake of the word-based models, specically in connection with the word and paradigm approach introduced by Blevins (2016), the paradigmatic approach is gaining a growing support in the eld of Word Formation (WF), essentially derivation but also compounding. More and more work refers to this approach since Van Marle (1985), and among them Stump (1991); Bochner (1993); Bauer (1997); tekauer (2014). Paradigmatic WF is an alternative to the generative models in morphology and to binary and oriented rules. Paradigmatic models involve derivational relations that are not limited to base-derivative pairs and that may be oriented both ways or have an unspecied direction (Jackend-o, 1975). Morphological paradigms are usually considered as interconnected by more or less complex networks of words, reecting the patterns of the many relations that each word has with the others. These networks cluster into deriva-tional families on one dimension and pile up and form analogies on the other. Paradigm-based approaches to WF are characterized by several distinctive properties , among which: the need for a strong meaning/form correlation, the peculiar nature of the paradigmatic regularities, which (re)denes canonicity in WF, and the importance taken by derivational families and the fundamental question of their identity and their limits (unlike lexemes, families are open sets). 2 Overview of the volume This special issue, dedicated to the paradigmatic dimension of WF, follows the ParadigMo (Paradigmatic Word Formation Modeling) workshop. The papers gathered in this volume aim to provide empirical, theoretical or experimental answers to ongoing investigations about paradigms in WF. The arguments in the various articles are based on examples in French, Modern Hebrew, Italian, and Portuguese. The paradigmatic dimension of the data is examined empirically through large-scale corpus-based analyses, psychological experiments, and statistical and computational models. The special issue consists of three parts: in the rst B. Fradin, then O. Bonami & D. Paperno discuss the theoretical questioning of inection/derivation relationships in terms of paradigms; the second part includes the papers of 1
