This volume brings together cutting-edge research on the semantic
properties of derived words and the processes by which these words
are derived. To this day, many of these processes remain
under-researched and the nature of meaning in derivational
morphology remains ill-understood. All eight articles have an
empirical focus and rely on carefully collected sets of data. At
the same time, the contributions represent a broad variety of
approaches. Several contributions deal with specific problems of
the pairing of form and meaning, such as the rivalry between
nominalizing suffixes or the semantic categories encoded by
conversion pairs. Other articles tackle the more general question
of how meaning is organized, e.g. whether there is evidence for the
paradigmatic organization of derived words or the reality of the
inflection-derivation dichotomy. The contributions feature
innovative methodologies, such as representing lexical meaning as
word distribution or predicting semantic properties by means of
analogical algorithms. This volume offers new and highly
interesting insights into how complex words mean, and offers
directions for future research in an oft-neglected field.
