The article is an attempt at analyzing Danish nomina instrumenti among compounds and finding patterns of equivalence in Polish. The analysis of the collected corpus has shown that the Polish equivalents of the Danish compounds are not compounds but, with the exception of a minor group of derivates, they have the form of phrases. The analysis has shown patterns of regular Polish structures corresponding to the Danish compounds.
The term Fr. confixe is not new and was used for the first time in 1982 but at present it is actually only used in German language linguistic literature. Confixes are morphemes of Latin and Greek origin that can form words with stems, affixes and other confixes. The article is an attempt at describing the confix øko- in the Danish language as well as its semantic and morphological properties. The status of confixes is unusual because they are actually bound morphemes with the exception that two confixes can form a word. The use of øko- shows that it is on the way to becoming a free morpheme (root), or perhaps it has become it already.
The article presents several classifications of compounds followed by the author’s suggestions regarding a new classification. The author discusses definitions of exocentric compounds put forward by various scholars and proposes a new definition of exocentric compounds.
The aim of the article is to describe loan blends (also called hybrids or hybrid creations) in the Danish language with English components. First, some definitions of the hybrids are presented and discussed; next, some new definitions are proposed. Finally, an attempt at an analysis of examples existing in the Danish language is made.
