Ausgewählte Aspekte der Wortbildung im Werk Europäisches Reisebuch von Kasimir Edschmid
Selected Aspects of Word Formation in Europäisches Reisebuchby Kasimir Edschmid

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses selected word formation aspects in Kasimir Edschmid’s diary describing his travels across Europe. The aim of the paper is to present derivatives, compounds and acronyms from several chapters in the discussed work. The answers to the following questions are sought: What structures can be found among derivatives and compounds? What semantic groups can be distinguished in the corpus under scrutiny? What other properties characterize the analysed vocabulary? The group of adjectival derivatives is more numerous than that of noun derivatives. The set of compounds contains frequent examples of compounds with a proper noun as the first segment. Acronyms are very rare. Other features of the examined vocabulary include, among others, hybrid formations and foreign terms.
