The volume brings together a well-selected collection of twelve articles providing a
comprehensive and very informative summary of contemporary work on lexical blending. It
combines theoretically informed descriptions of a variety of languages and a number of
contributions with a theoretically original focus. It is the first book of its kind on the
subject and because of its cross-disciplinary nature it is of high relevance not only to
word-formation scholars and students but also to a wide readership within the linguistics
community.
