Editorial Foreword
The Ancient Greek word παράδειγμα, the source of the term that furnishes
the first and key word in the title of this volume and provides the notion that
unifies its nine substantial chapters, originally meant an architect’s or sculp-
tor’s ‘model’. More germane to the volume at hand, it also meant ‘pattern’, and
that is the sense that most directly informs the linguistic concepts of para-
digm and concomitantly, paradigmatic relation, that are the focus of this latest
contribution to the Empirical Approaches to Linguistic Theory (EALT) series,
Paradigmatic Relations in Word Formation.
This word παράδειγμα had other meanings in Ancient Greek as well, and
interestingly, many of its extended meanings are relevant to the present
volume:
– For instance, it meant (and still does mean in Modern Greek) ‘example’ and
to be sure, there are a good many examples in this book, drawn from a num-
ber of different languages, those well-represented in the literature (Arabic,
Dutch, English, French, Italian, Latin, Russian), those less well represented
(Dogon, Rikbaktsa, Vietnamese), and those in-between (Czech, Slovak).
– It could also mean ‘lesson’, and there are certainly lessons to be learned
from the studies in this volume about derivation, about inflection, about
networks of words, about different kinds of connections among words—
semantic, formal, and other—and so on.
– Another meaning was ‘argument’, in the sense of an element of a proof in
philosophical debate, a meaning which clearly resonates with the nature of
argumentation in linguistics and thus in evidence in the chapters here.
– Finally, it could also mean ‘precedent’, and while this volume is not totally
unprecedented, in that there are many works on morphology and on deri-
vation today as morphological investigation is becoming, or has become,
a distinct subfield within linguistics in the past few decades, it is setting
a precedent by addressing various open issues—what the editors call “un-
settled matters” (pp. 12–13) in morphological analysis and theory.
Each new volume of EALT offers something important to the scholarly world
and with this work, editors Jesús Fernández-Domiń guez, Alexandra Bagasheva,
and Cristina Lara-Clares, along with the ten other authors whose work is show-
cased here, are offering an interesting and insightful group of studies that eluci-
date the role of the notion of “paradigm” in word-formation processes. Indeed,
through these studies, it becomes evident how patterns—παραδεἰγματα—are

as essential for the understanding of word formation and derivational mor-
phology as they are for the understanding of inflectional morphology.
