영문 초록

As an initial attempt to uncover the principles governing blending formation in English, this paper attempts to provide a description of the important structural properties that underlie English blends Based on the data set of English blends complied by the author, this paper reveals the general patterns of combination, linking, and prosody that are crucial for the formation of English blends. Since English blends do not follow a single forming principle but rather tend to exhibit divergent structural patterns, this paper also unveils statistical tendencies to which the most salient forms of blending are subject
