Lexical Blending and the Morpho-Phonological Interface: Towards an Integrated System for Non-Concatenative Morphology

The present study examines lexical blending, a word formation process that consists of the combination or overlapping of two bases, in such a way that the resulting unit brings together an initial segment from the first base and a final segment from the second base (almuerzo + cena> almuercen...

We will determine the descriptively appropriate structure for these words, and we will also specify how lexical blending is carried out within a constructionist framework, such as that of Distributed Morphology. Our initial hypothesis posits that blending occurs as a result of a specific structural configuration, the presence of evaluative features, and a series of readjustment processes at the morpho-phonological interface, which specifically involve the elimination of a part of the phonological structure based on stress patterns. We do not consider blending to be a strictly morphological (in contrast to Nóbrega, 2023) nor a strictly phonological (in contrast to Bauer 1983) process, but rather one that involves the articulation of both aspects at the morpho-phonological interface.  Analizaremos aquí el cruce léxico o blending, proceso de formación de palabras que consiste en la combinación o superposición de dos bases, de forma tal que la unidad resultante reúne un segmento inicial correspondiente a la primera base y un segmento final correspondiente a la segunda (almuerzo + cena> almuercena; tarado + estúpido> tarúpido). Determinaremos cuál es la estructura descriptivamente adecuada para estas palabras, como así también especificaremos cómo se lleva a cabo el cruce léxico en un marco construccionista como el de la Morfología Distribuida. Nuestra hipótesis de partida sostiene que el blending se produce a partir de una conformación estructural determinada, la presencia de rasgos evaluativos y una serie de procesos de reajuste en la interfaz morfo-fonológica, que, puntualmente, implican la eliminación de una parte de la estructura fonológica en función de patrones acentuales. No consideramos que sea un proceso estrictamente morfológico (contra Nóbrega, 2023) ni estrictamente fonológico (contra Bauer, 1983), sino que implica la articulación de ambas instancias en la interfaz morfo-fonológica. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/filologia/article/view/16113 10.34096/filologia.n56.16113 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/filologia/article/view/16113/13706 Derechos de autor 2024 Andrea Bohrn https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 Filología; Vol. 2 Núm. 56 (2024) Filología; Vol 2 No 56 (2024) 2422-6009 0071-495X blending non-concatenative morphology Distributed Morphology colloquial Rioplatense Spanish cruce léxico morfología no concatenativa Morfología Distribuida español coloquial rioplatense Lexical Blending and the Morpho-Phonological Interface: Towards an Integrated System for Non-Concatenative Morphology Cruce léxico e interfaz morfo-fonológica: hacia un sistema integral para la morfología no concatenativa info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=filologia&d=16113_oai
