This paper aims to show the function and occurrence of the word Energie in nominal determinative compounds in which the noun occurs as a first or second element (Energiekosten, Solarenergie) or inside multiple compounds (Gebäudeenergiegesetz) with left-, right- or binary-branching. The corpus gathers documents from various digital sources as well as specialized texts relating to energy. The analysis was carried out with the tools available in Sketch Engine and examines the compound words from a morphological as well as a semantic-lexical point of view. The collected data confirm the condensation of the content in compounding, especially in multi-word technical terms. However, not only the technical terminology, but also the everyday language is thereby enriched with neologisms (Energiearmut, Energieunion, Energiewendegesetz), semantic remotivations (Friedensenergie), and creative ad hoc compounds (Energiewende-Booster).
Il contributo si propone di studiare la funzione e l’occorrenza della parola Energie in composti nominali determinativi nei quali il sostantivo si presenta come primo o secondo elemento (Energiekosten, Solarenergie) o in composti multipli (Gebäudeenergiegesetz) con ramificazione a sinistra, a destra o bilaterale. L’analisi è condotta con l’ausilio di Sketch Engine e prende in esame un corpus che consta principalmente di testi specialistici che trattano il tema dell’energia. I sostantivi vengono esaminati sia sotto il profilo morfologico che semantico-lessicale. I dati raccolti confermano la tendenza dei composti tedeschi a condensare il significato, in modo particolare nei termini tecnici costituiti da più elementi lessicali. Tuttavia, l’arricchimento del lessico attraverso il processo della composizione non riguarda esclusivamente la terminologia tecnica ma anche la lingua di uso comune con la creazione di neologismi (Energiearmut, Energieunion, Energiewendegesetz), resemantizzazioni (Friedensenergie) e altri composti creativi (Energiewende-Booster).

Abstract
This paper aims to show the function and occurrence of the word Energie in nominal determinative compounds in which the noun occurs as a first or second element (Energiekosten, Solarenergie) or inside multiple compounds (Gebäudeenergiegesetz) with left-, right- or binary-branching. The corpus gathers documents from various digital sources as well as specialized texts relating to energy. The analysis was carried out with the tools available in Sketch Engine and examines the compound words from a morphological as well as a semantic-lexical point of view. The collected data confirm the condensation of the content in compounding, especially in multi-word technical terms. However, not only the technical terminology, but also the everyday language is thereby enriched with neologisms (Energiearmut, Energieunion, Energiewendegesetz), semantic remotivations (Friedensenergie), and creative ad hoc compounds (Energiewende-Booster).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
