English Compound Verbs with an Adverbial Component
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
The article addresses the topic of English compound verbs and their origin and occurrence in contemporary English. Traditionally, they are considered to be the least numerous group among English compounds, and in addition, some authors (Marchand, Adams) consider them to be secondary (non-canonical, pseudo-) compounds, which are not formed by compounding, but by conversion and back-formation. On the one hand, the collected sample of 200 compound verbs, 90% of which form 32 sets (lexical families) and fall into five groups according to their adverbial modification, suggests that the number of compound verbs is on the increase. On the other hand it appears to confirm Erdmann’s thesis that new compound verbs tend to arise directly on the basis of schemas or patterns, i.e. by analogy with a specific compound (one constituent of which serves as a patternforming element), rather than by conversion or back-formation.
