New page

The term '''loan creation''' denotes a type of contact-induced lexical change whereby a new complex word is created matching a foreign model semantically, but completely independent formally.

===Example===
See quotations.

===Origin===
Loan-translated by Weinreich (1953:51) from Betz's (1949) term ''Lehnschöpfung''. (Haugen's (1950) article only talks about ''creation'', but Haugen probably knew Betz as well.)

===Quotations===
*"'''Creation'''. Loanword lists are often made to include a number of terms whose existence may ultimately be due to contact with a second culture and its language, but which are not strictly loans at all. These did not come into being as direct imitations of a foreign model, but were dsecondarily created within the borrowing language. An example is the Yaqui term ''liósnóoka'' 'pray', composed of the loanword ''liós'' 'God' (from Spanish ''dios'') and the native ''nóoka'' 'speak'." (Haugen 1950:220)

*"a term applied to new coinages which are stimulated not by cultural innovations, but by the need to match designations available in a language in contact: e.g. Yiddish ''mitkind'' 'sibling' (literally 'fellow child') created on the stimulus of English ''sibling'', German ''Geschwister'', and equivalent terms much in vogue in present-day social sience." (Weinreich 1953:51)
