  14. NOTE: When someone uses such words as coolth (like warmth), fullen (like weaken), usually it is either an error or an attempt at humor. Our knowledge of the related pairs, may permit us to use these examples in forming new words, by analogy with the existing lexical items.

  15. Play on words/morphemes to create humor: (comic strips) …This is very strange. …If a vegetarian is someone who eats vegetables. …What does that make a humanitarian?

  16. 3. Meaning is not always transcendental: a. predictable ex. girlfriend; post office b. partially predictable ex. blackboard; c. completely unpredictable ex. cathouse; jack-in-a-box; redcoat

  17. VIII. Word Coinage

  18. Exocentric compound: A compound whose meaning does not follow from the meaning of its parts ( e.g. redneck, since its referent is not a type of neck)
