Formação de hibridismos portugueses com bases inglesas não dicionarizados

Abstract

Speakers of any language have the capacity to create new words, whether by utilizing the elements that are present in their own native language, by borrowing elements from other languages or by blending them. The vast virtual space allows numerous possibilities of analysis in all areas of linguistics studies, which is why this monograph, from the morphology area, uses the Dicionário inFormal website as the corpus for the research about hybridism, focusing, specifically, in words formed by the blend of Portuguese and English lexical elements. This monograph analyzes, with basis mainly on Sandmann (1989), Ribeiro; Rio Torto (2016) and Villalva (2020), the process that the speakers utilize in the formation and reproduction of these hybrid constructions, observing how they follow the morphophonological and orthographic rules of the Portuguese language. The analysis of the 148 collected data highlighted the prevalence of the usage of derivation (affixal and by conversion), with 101 forms, and demonstrated that the Portuguese speaker, when forming and graphically recording hybrids, tends to follow the word formation rules of Portuguese.
