The creation of new lexical units and patterns has been studied in
different research frameworks, focusing on either system-internal
or system-external aspects, from which no comprehensive view has
emerged. The volume aims to fill this gap by studying dynamic
processes in the lexicon - understood in a wide sense as not being
necessarily limited to the word level - by bringing together
approaches directed to morphological productivity as well as
approaches analyzing general types of lexical innovation and the
role of discourse-related factors. The papers deal with ongoing
changes as well as with historical processes of change in different
languages and reflect on patterns and specific subtypes of lexical
innovation as well as on their external conditions and the
speakers' motivations for innovating. Moreover, the diffusion and
conventionalization of innovations will be addressed. In this way,
the volume contributes to understanding the complex interplay of
structural, cognitive and functional factors in the lexicon as a
highly dynamic domain.
