  The emphasis will be on the materiality of language, practices, and the growing need to involve the humanities in the fight against climate change. In fact, this call is designed for those papers that explore the links between sociolinguistics, or applied linguistics, materiality and climate change/ecology.

  Blending in English

  The 14th issue of Lexis will be devoted and deal with the mechanism ofblending in English, mainly from a synchronic approach, although a diachronicone may also be of interest. A lexical blend is generally defined as a word which cannot be analysed into morphemes, intentionally formed by merging together elements or splinters usually from two source lexical units (sometimes more, e.g. afflufemza – affluence + influenza + feminism, or the more recent scinfotainment, – science + information + entertainment). However, despite the recent interest in blending, it is still a somehow poorly understood and underresearched mechanism, often regarded as “irregular”  and/or “marginal”. For these and other reasons, Lexis 14 will aim at exploring the linguistic and even extralinguistic contexts which affect and motivate the creation and success of blends in English.
