2022. Chapter 3. Interlocking paradigms in English compounds. Paradigms in Word Formation: Theory and applications, Ruz, Alba E., Cristina Fernández-Alcaina and Cristina Lara-Clares (eds.), pp. 59–68
In this contribution, I consider the paradigmatic structure of compounds in English, showing that the various paradigms overlap and interlock, leading to a network of paradigmatic structures. I briefly consider the implications of such a structure for non-compound structures as well, and discuss… read more | Chapter
2020. Arbitrariness, motivation and idioms. Review of Cognitive Linguistics 18:1, pp. 162–179
This paper considers the interplay between arbitrariness and the widely-accepted ideals of one form, one meaning and compositionality. They are shown to operate in different domains, and to clash where there is idiomaticity. Idioms provide familiar forms which are not semantically relevant to the… read more | Article
2016. Re-evaluating exocentricity in word-formation. Morphological Metatheory, Siddiqi, Daniel and Heidi Harley (eds.), pp. 461–478
The distinction between endocentric and exocentric is usually taken as an important semantic factor in classifying compounds. But the same division does not appear to be used in classifying derivatives. This may be because exocentricity has no obvious correlates in derivation; but it is argued here… read more | Article
2010. The typology of exocentric compounding. Cross-Disciplinary Issues in Compounding, Scalise, Sergio and Irene Vogel (eds.), pp. 167–176
On the basis of a survey of types of exocentric compound found in a large number of languages, a small set of basic types is established. Even one of these is considered marginal. These basic types are described and exemplified, with problems of nomenclature and description being discussed. The… read more | Article
2010. Affixation vs. conversion.: The Resolution of conflicting patterns. Variation and Change in Morphology: Selected papers from the 13th International Morphology Meeting, Vienna, February 2008, Rainer, Franz, Wolfgang U. Dressler, Dieter Kastovsky and Hans Christian Luschützky (eds.), pp. 15–32
This is a case-study in what happens when word-formation processes compete for bases. Based on a sample of English adjectives, this paper examines how two conflicting patterns (-en suffixation and conversion) distribute themselves in the formation of corresponding deadjectival verbs. Focus is on… read more | Article
2005. The Borderline between Derivation and Compounding. Morphology and its demarcations: Selected papers from the 11th Morphology meeting, Vienna, February 2004, Dressler, Wolfgang U., Dieter Kastovsky, Oskar E. Pfeiffer and Franz Rainer (eds.), pp. 97–108
Article
2002. 3. What you can do with derivational morphology. Morphology 2000: Selected papers from the 9th Morphology Meeting, Vienna, 24–28 February 2000, Bendjaballah, Sabrina, Wolfgang U. Dressler, Oskar E. Pfeiffer and Maria D. Voeikova (eds.), pp. 37–48

2002. Can we watch regional dialects developing in colonial English? The case of New Zealand. English World-Wide 23:2, pp. 169–193
The regional homogeneity of New Zealand English is frequently commented on. Similar observations on varieties such as Australian English were simply precursors to the discovery of regional dialects. In this paper a report is given of a survey of New Zealand primary school children, which showed… read more | Article
2000. 3. The dialectal origins of New Zealand English. New Zealand English, Bell, Allan and Koenraad Kuiper (eds.), pp. 40–52
Article
2000. Contextual Clues to Word-Meaning. International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 5:2, pp. 231–258
1999. On the Origins of the New Zealand English Accent. English World-Wide 20:2, pp. 287–307
In this paper it is argued that the New Zealand English accent is a mixed accent in origin, showing input from many areas in England south of a line from Cheshire to the Wash. It is argued that attributing the accent to more specific areas in England is possible only if some of the phonetic… read more | Article
1998. Review of Orsman (1997): The Dictionary of New Zealand English: New Zealand Words and Their Origins. English World-Wide 19:1, pp. 123–128
Review
1997. Evaluative Morphology: In Search of Universals. Studies in Language 21:3, pp. 533–575
Various claims from the previous literature about the way in which evaluative morphology (particularly diminutives and augmentatives) operates are tested on a large sample of languages. Evaluative morphology is seen as being less morphologically marginal than has been implied in some of the recent… read more | Article
1997. Attempting to trace Scottish influence on New Zealand English. Englishes around the World: Studies in honour of Manfred Görlach, Schneider, Edgar W. (ed.), pp. 257 ff.
Article
In a number of publications, John Anderson and his colleagues have developed the notion of Structural Analogy — the assumption that structural principles generalise across levels of language — as a meta-theoretical principle of linguistics. In this paper some recent works which appear to criticise… read more | Article
