Word Formation Process - Blending

This document discusses the word formation process of blending in English. Blending involves combining two separate words to form a new single term by shortening or removing syllables from the original words. There are different types of blends, including those that combine the beginning of one word with the end of another, those that blend the beginnings of words, and portmanteau words. The document provides examples to illustrate each type of blend and discusses some common rules for forming blends, such as combining syllabic constituents from the original words.
