Infixation, reduplication, and blending in Croatian

In the paper three word-formation processes are described which are not found in the indigenous Croatian lexicon. First is infixation, which is a kind of concatenative affixation, and the other two are non-concatenative – reduplication and blending. The paper has three aims: i) to point out some inconsistencies in existing descriptions of Croatian morphology, ii) to analyse several Croatian neologisms that can be viewed as examples of the three processes in question, iii) to predict whether it is possible, and if so, to what extent, for non-indigenous word-formation types to be imported from foreign languages, nowadays mainly (only) English
