DERIVATIONAL-borrowing: A typological overview
Francesco Gardani
December 2015 

To date, there is no comprehensive work on the wide range of phenomena which occur under the heading of contact-induced morphological change. Numerous cases of both derivational and inflectional borrowing have become known during the last few decades, but they are scattered in myriad publications dealing mostly with single languages, such as grammars. Recent efforts to collect the data in unified publications, such as Gardani (2008) and Gardani (2012) for inflectional borrowing, and Seifart (2013) for both inflectional and derivational borrowing, are by far not comprehensive enough. The aim of the paper on which this talk is based, is to provide the first systematic survey of instances of borrowed derivational formatives, from both nominal and verbal morphology, based on evidence from a number of typologically distinct languages.
