| Summary: | This paper aims to investigate the phenomenon of hybridism in Italian word formation through a corpus-based survey of two hybrid constructions between Italian and English: the over-X derivational construction and the X-style compositional construction. The two constructions are described on the basis of morphological, semantic and quantitative parameters in order to shed light on how these elements from English are productively used by Italian speakers to create new words and with which elements within the
system they compete. |
