98 Sections S to R. Relating the reported event to the moment of speaking is the basic operation. Relating the reported event to reference times which have to be related to the time of speaking is a much more complex and non-basic operation. Despite the typological differences between the three languages, Bulgarian, Russian and German, we can show that the investigated children interpret the first formal oppositions in the verbal system as representing aspectual distinctions, i.e., as symbolizing differences in the relation of the event and the time of speaking. Formal distinctions which exclusively differentiate distinct times of reference without changing the perception of the reported event emerge after this step in grammatical development. Antinucci, F. & R. Miller (1976). How children talk about what happened. Journal of Child Language 3: 167-189. From Newglish to Offglish: The system behind morphological oddities Hamans, Camiel Dutch delegation of the PSE Group in the European Parliament, Brussels -Strasbourg hamans@tiscali.nl;chamans@europarl.eu.int Traditionally morphology deals with complex words, 'words which are not simple signs, but which are made up of more elementary ones' (Aronoff 1976). Although 'portmanteau' words such as smog, snark or chunnel are derived from other forms - 'smoke + fog, 'snake + shark' and 'channel + tunnel' - Aronoff does not include the pattern of word formation in his theory of morphology. These products of blending processes are just 'oddities'. Bauer(1983), Scalise (1984), Spencer (1991) and Rainer (1993) share the same view. In the work of Suzanne Kemmer (for instance Kemmer 2000) blends play a more central role. She considers 'lexical blends, such as glitterati, stalkerazzi, imagineer and carjacking, as instances of one of the most vivid and creative word formation processes in English'. However, she realizes how problematic blends are for rule-based theories of morphology. Therefore she describes the process of blending within usage-based network theories. In this paper I want to show how systematic and especially productive these morphological processes are. Therefore we have to include blending and other ‘odd’ processes, such as clipping, in a theory of grammar. I shall start with examples such as: (1) brunch breakfast + lunch flumpet Flügelhorn + trumpet The process under (1) is not very productive and at first sight not really systematic, just as in examples such as: (2) governator governor + terminator Nescafé Nestlé + café Nespresso Nestlé + espresso On the other hand, examples as the ones under (3) suggests morphological boundaries might play a role in the formation of portmanteau words: (3) Oxbridge Oxford + Cambridge stagflation stagnation + inflation infotainment information + entertainment
Section I: Morphology 99 The last example under (3) makes clear how complicated the process is, since infotainment is part of a paradigm: (4) entertainment wintertainment webtainment infotainment emotainment edutainment litertainment sportstainment psychotainment The process which operates here might be described in terms of more or less productive forms of blending, just as in (5), (6) and (7). On the other hand it could be considered as a combination of clipping and suffixation, or sometimes of twofold clipping and compounding, as in (8), (9) and (10). (5) hotel motel motor + hotel botel boat + hotel (6) Hollywood Bollywood Bombay + Hollywood Mollywood Moskou + Hollywood (7) globalisation glocalisation (Englishisation) The last example, Englishation, suggests a conscious but normal process of suffixation is taking place already, as in some of the examples under (8)-(10) as well.
