Description:
<jats:p>All the volumes of the publication Word-Formation: An International Handbook
of the Languages of Europe can be useful to an internationalisation of the
discipline of word-formation and can raise new theoretical and methodological
questions, finding alternative solutions (including a critical appraisal of
certain views or a new evaluation of the existent approaches). In any case,
the survey of research published in several countries, foregrounding certain
theories and methodologies and their possible limitations by the languages
that form its subject-matter, and in general, a broad spectrum of open
questions may also be stimulating to a new view of the languages under
scrutiny. Besides, those volumes offer an abundance of material for future
comparative studies of both theoretical aspects and their application in
studying matters of word-formation and usage, also including those based on
the material from the languages that are not (closely) related.</jats:p>
