“…The two source words may be syntagmatically related or paradigmatically related." Kubozono (1990, in Mattiello, 2013 sees the relations of the source words, of blends that are in paradigmatic relations, such as chofa (chair + sofa) or syntagmatic relations, such as porta-light (portable + light). Other linguists (Cannon, 2000;Plag, 2003;and Bat El, 200 in Mattiello, 2013, p. 114) also see that the source words often exhibit some semantic similarity but " rarely synonyms, " such as brunch (breakfast + lunch); usually "belong to the same syntactic category" (Kubozono, 1990, in Mattiello, 2013, such as adjective + adjective : ginormous (gigantic + enormous) or show some "phonological similarity" (Cannon, 2000, in Mattiello, 2013, such as hesiflation (hesitation + inflation).…”

“…As the parts shortened in the source words in blending process often "include unpredictable splinters instead of existing morphemes" (Soudek, 1978in Danks 2003, blending usually is classified as the nonmorphematic word-formation (Fandrych, 2008), and thus labelled as "extra grammatical morphology," a term introduced by Dressler and Merlini Barbressi (1994in Mattiello 2013 referring to word formations "through which the process obtained are not identifiable and the input does not allow a prediction of regular input.

“…The fact that it takes at least two source words in blending reminds us of compounding: "the process of putting two words together to form a third" (Bauer, 1983in Danks, 2003. Lehrer (2007in Mattiello, 2013 states that "blends are underlying compounds which are composed of one word and part of another, or parts of two (occasionally three) other words." Carstairs-McCarthy (2002, p. 65) says that blends "are a kind of compound where at least one component is reproduced only partially."…”

This research aims at observing the blending process, the patterns of blending, and the possible new meanings of the English-influenced blends found in the Indonesian context. The influence of English and Indonesian not only in terms of the source words involved, but also of the morphological processes of the blends and also to see whether there are some semantic changes, anticipating the cultural influence of the blend creators. Data are collected from advertisement of schools events, brand name of food and beverage products, also names of cafes and restaurants found mostly in Yogyakarta. The data are analyzed using Mattiello’s formula (2013) in categorizing the process of blending: morphotactical, morphonological, and morphosemantic. The results show that morphotactically the data can be classified into total and partial blends of which there are more blends whose first source words are kept full and followed by clipped second source words. In morphopohonological process, there is no non-overlapping blends; phonological overlap also takes place, but not orthographical one. Morphosemantically, attributive blends are more frequent than the coordinative ones.

“…After all, if the original is not recoverable from a TS, then any pragmatic or semantic effect triggered by deletion is moot. Given that the beginning of words are more salient (Dressler 2005), this preference of recovery over deletion is likely to be an important factor in why truncation primarily preserves from the left and deletes from the right cross-linguistically (Mattiello 2013): If the leftedge is asymmetrically more salient than the right edge of a word, then preserving the leftmost material of a word in truncation will independently maximize recoverability of the original.…”

“…bermuda, 'shorts' → berm-as iii. bobeira, 'silliness' → bob-(i)s While truncation is not restricted to preserving initial material and deleting final material, this pattern forms the majority of truncation in English and other languages (Mattiello 2013). This tendency is reflected in our data, where there were not enough examples of right-anchored truncation, or other types of truncations that preserve some intra-word material, for a thorough analysis of all forms of truncation.…”

Mincing words: Balancing recovery and deletion in word truncation

Brazilian Portuguese exhibits word truncation: e.g., the word cruzeiro 'cruise' results in the truncated form cruza, where the vowel -a is added to the truncated stem cruz-. Gonçalves (2011) claims that truncated words preserve the onset of the rightmost syllable of the first binary foot. We argue from a corpus-based perspective instead that the truncated stem is better predicted by optimizing two opposing forces: original word recovery and phonological deletion. These are formalized and implemented as right-complete counts (RC) and left-complete counts (LC), based primarily on the analysis of blends and subtractive word formation in Gries (2006) and taking into consideration the informativity of the deleted material as well as the preserved material. Specifically, a model incorporating both RC and LC outperforms one that uses only one or the other, as well as prosodic models based on binary feet, in predicting truncated stems in Brazilian Portuguese. Beyond truncation, our model has implications for morpheme segmentation as well as the mechanics of morphological reanalysis.

This overview of lexical blending includes a definitional discussion, an appraisal of the role of English in its increased frequency in a variety of languages, a taxonomic outline of key types and subtypes, and a focus on two issues of debate – the grammatical or extragrammatical status of blended outputs and the inclusion or exclusion of items made of two initial word fragments. It concludes that two prototypical formal‐cum‐functional strategies of blend formation can be sketched – an associative strategy of novel naming preferably encoded by A{B|C|∅}D constructs and a syntagmatic strategy of compacted renaming preferably encoded by AC constructs.
