    Old video. Updated video in the playlist on the channel.
    In this video, we look at Compounding, Clipping, Blending, Backformation, Acronyms, and Onomatopoeia as forms of word creation in English. We also do an impromptu look at word borrowing from French that you won't want to miss.

    Never heard Hospital as Hostel...Ever. I checked to make sure I wasn't wrong but...yup. Hostel is not the same as Hospital. I think it's a maybe people might think it's a mix between Hospital and Hotel... because of the "room service". But I've never thought of associating Hospital and Hostel. I have always just associated it with Hotel. Maybe you could've chosen the word "Hospitality", which is English. Hostel is the French word.
    hos·tel
    /ˈhästl/
    (noun)
    an establishment which provides inexpensive food and lodging for a specific group of people, such as students, workers, or travelers.
    I do appreciate your videos a lot. Thank you for putting in the time and effort. You have helped me immensely. Thank you.

    This is superlative series about linguistics. The examples and colors make the subject more accessible. I just want to correct something very important. The laser (in 9:28) is an abbreviation for Light Amplification by StimulatED Emission of Radiation. The past participle should be used here. Even though this mistake seems trivial, but to a physicist it is not.

      +Treesa Marshal Yeah, coinage is another way to introduce words. It's usually not a process that's discussed because there's really nothing "interesting" about it.

    With the acronym examples, are the acronyms scuba and laser also examples of word formation since we use them as free standing words?
    But they both are nouns, and can create compound words like you said scuba diving and laser beam, but you can't add either word onto the origin. How does an acronym function in terms of lexical categorisation, and what properties put them under the umbrella of morphology?

    What about the words ham, burger, hamburger and the city Hamburg? I guess the hamburger was named after Hamburg. So did we derive the two words ham and burger from it? Or did we coincidentally already have one of those words so we derived the other?

    while you comparing the difference or similarities between English and Japanese onomatopoeia, I'd like to offer you an idea of the dog barks. Actually In Japanese, it's sound more like wang-wang, the similar pronouncation to woof.

  • @BATMAN-gh1nf
    @BATMAN-gh1nf 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    What is interesting about blended words is that there are several examples in which it is not readily apparent where one word ends and the other begins. Are the letters o and t in "motel" from "motor" or "hotel"? Is the letter i in "liger" from "lion" or "tiger"?

    • @Trevtutor
      @Trevtutor  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You could probably assume that in blended words with 4 or more sounds, you would take at least two sounds from both words. You'd have to check a lot of other blends in English though to check if it's common for the first vowel in two syllable words to come from the first word in a blend, or the second.

    • @BATMAN-gh1nf
      @BATMAN-gh1nf 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      True, though I think the vowel is decided based on how the blended word will sound. Thus, when blending "phone" and "tablet," "phablet" won out as the newly coined word, as it probably sounded better to more people than did "phoblet."

  • @morgengabe1
    @morgengabe1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would've thought that a word would need identical phonetic transcriptions across languages in order to be considered onomatopoeic.
    Then again, I guess not all languages use all of eachother's sounds, so some sounds may be harder/different to replicate from a given perspective.

  • @MRCAB
    @MRCAB 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the word orientate come from the word Orient? Etymology wise. I'd source something but I think I read it in a book. Basically Europeans knew the "Orient" was to the east, where the sun rises, and would "orient themselves" by figuring out where the east was.
    Might have read that in "Maps of the Imagination: The Writer as Cartographer".

    • @tanjak.3869
      @tanjak.3869 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      As far as I know it originates from the latin "oriens," which means "east" or "orient."

      So you mean, when it is used, it is fine?
      No reflection about grammatical/semantical correctness?
      Why do we teach grammar in school then?

    • @Trevtutor
      @Trevtutor  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      In high school you are basically taught prescriptivist grammar. There are rules you are taught and you must abide by them in writing. This is mainly a writing thing.
      Linguistics is a field for descriptivists. We just look at how people use language naturally, which is far more important to understand what the processes could be like in the brain.
      When I say we use both, I mean that you'll hear native English speakers use both constructions frequently. We don't talk about grammatical/semantic correctness, but rather grammatical agreement or semantic anomalies.
      I would agree that we can't say something like "*In anyways, ...". We'd have to say, "In anyway, ...". But, as a standalone word, both "anyway, ..." and and "anyways, ..." are commonly used and there's no "awkward feeling" from hearing a native English speaker utter it.

    • @iwilltubeyouall
      @iwilltubeyouall 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Of course you're perfectly right.
      Anyway, I like how language tries to fix some rules, not to be too variable.
      But I know that those rules I'm asking for, of course, developed from random speech conventions and are often far from logic.
      Anyway, I like logics. So if there is something more logic than something else, at least I would choose the logic one.
      And don't take me too offensive. ;)
