Dieser Sammelband gibt einen Überblick über den Stand der Forschung zur Wortbildung im Deutschen. Der Blick auf den Gegenstand erfolgt dabei aus ganz unterschiedlichen Perspektiven: Es finden sich Beiträge zum aktuellen Sprachgebrauch, zum historischen wie zum synchronen Sprachwandel, zum Sprachvergleich mit verwandten wie unverwandten Sprachen, zur Wortbildung in Dialekten oder auch zur Rolle der Wortbildung im Bereich der Ortsnamen. Die Berücksichtigung dieser unterschiedlichen Gesichtspunkte ergibt insgesamt einen umfassenden Blick auf das Phänomen.

The German Linguistic Studies Series is a comprehensive and outstanding forum in its field. It has borne the name of its subject in its title since the foundation of the series in the eighth decade of the last century.The series is comprehensive in the broad spectrum of topics covered (language levels, varieties, communication forms, epochs) in the range of research perspectives (theoretical and empirical studies, fundamental research and applications, interdisciplinarity with psychology, the social sciences etc.) and methodologies (the sole criterion is quality), in the rhythm of research (trends are perceived and also set, achievements are secured) and in the forms of presentation (monographs, textbooks, collected volumes, dictionaries).Professorial theses, outstanding doctoral theses, pioneering research findings from wider contexts, but also the surprising ‛stroke of genius’ set the standards for inclusion in the series.
