The aim of this paper is to show that lexical creativity and the organization of the lexicon are “mutually enlightening” realities. Using of Catalan neologisms, I take advantage of Bybee’s (2001: 109) insight that “any multi- morphemic word or sequence is highly embedded in connections with other words containing at least one of the same morphemes.” I argue for the validity of Bybee’s model over and beyond its use in inflectional processes, by developing an analysis of neologisms in which derivation and analogy play a key role. In the light of the theory on paradigmatic relations framing the lexicon (cf. van Marle 1985), I advance the hypothesis that lexical creativity is the external manifestation of the lexicon’s intrinsic organization. Specifically, I show the dynamic role that two main types of paradigmatic relations (derivational categories and word families) play in lexical creativity. Because both of them are based on morpheme-to-morpheme relations among words, I emphasize this kind of relations in network representations. In particular, I show that low-level network patterns used in neology are suggestive evidence of a fuzzy boundary between derivation and analogy. |
