Dec 1, 1981 · The fact that word substitutions and blends follow syntactic and semantic con- straints fits in well with their assignment to the functional stage of processing in Garrett's system. However, it has been observed that similar sounding words are frequently substituted for one another (Nooteboom, 1969; Fromkin, 1971; Fay & Cutler, 1977).

May 1, 2023 · Although the difference is not usually defined, I will take the distinction between syntactic blends and lexical blends to be whether the elements of the blend occur (or do not occur) as wholes in one or other input, according to standard orthography.
Fay (1982) has already shown that, to a limited extent, syntactic category plays a role in blend structure, in a limited class of blends he calls “substitution” blends, which can be described as the substitution of a word in one target for a word in another.
May 18, 2023 · The existence of synonym and subsumative errors is documented in a larger open access data set that supports a range of new investigations of the semantic structure of lexical substitution and word blend speech errors.
Both semantic and phonological substitutions are constrained by phonological and syntactic similarity between the target and intrusion. We distinguish between associative and shared-feature semantic substitutions.

Four degrees of semantic overlap between combined expressions are identified: synonymy; subsump-tion, where the meaning of one expression encompasses that of the other as well as contributing a bit extra; partial complementarity, where each expres-sion conveys some element of meaning not conveyed by the other; and distinctness.

The approach allows a comparison of the properties that word blends share with sublexical exchanges, anticipations, perseverations and substitutions; in addition, it accounts for the convergence of these properties.
