Debonding of affixoids: a comparative constructionist account
In this article, I analyze a specific mechanism of linguistic change by which new adjectives and adverbs may be created out of former compound members or affixoids. This process is called ‘debonding’ by Norde (2009). I demonstrate that debonding occurs in several European languages and provide corpu...
