Univerbation
In linguistics, univerbation is the diachronic process of combining a fixed expression of several words into a new single word. The univerbating process is epitomized in Talmy Givón's aphorism that "today's morphology is yesterday's syntax". Examples Some univerbated examples are ''always'' (from ''all heway''; the ''s'' was added later), ''onto'' (from ''on to''), ''albeit'' (from ''all be it''), and colloquial ''gonna'' (from ''going to'') and ''finna'' (from ''fixin' to''). Although a univerbated product is normally written as a single word, occasionally it remains orthographically disconnected. For example, (French, ) acts like a single adjectival word that means 'cheap', the opposite of which is ('costly') as opposed to ('a bad deal'). Similar phenomena It may be contrasted with compounding (composition). Because compound words do not always originate from fixed phrases that already exist, compounding may be termed a "coercive" or "forced" process. Univerb ...

Ljubljanica
The Ljubljanica (), known in the Middle Ages as the ''Leybach'', is a river in the southern part of the Ljubljana Basin in Slovenia. The capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, lies on the river. The Ljubljanica rises south of the town of Vrhnika and flows into the Sava River about downstream from Ljubljana. Its largest affluent is the Mali Graben Canal. Including its source affluent the Little Ljubljanica (), the river is in length. The Little Ljubljanica joins the Big Ljubljanica () after and the river continues its course as the Ljubljanica. The Ljubljanica is the continuation of several karst rivers that flow from the Prezid Karst Field () to Vrhnika on the surface and underground in caves, and so the river is poetically said to have seven names (six name changes): Trbuhovica, Obrh, Stržen, Rak, Pivka, Unica, and Ljubljanica.

Glinščica
The Glinščica () is a stream in Slovenia. Geography The source of Glinščica Creek is on the eastern slope of Peštota Hill (590 m) below the settlement of Toško Čelo and north of the Kucja Valley. It then flows through the Ljubljana neighborhood of Glinica (or Glince), between the neighborhoods of Kamna Gorica and Podutik (where it is crossed by the stone one-arch Kavšek Bridge and a new bridge for motorized traffic), briefly along the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship, and then southwest of Rožnik Hill and through the Rožna Dolina neighborhood before joining the Gradaščica River in the Vič District. Most of its lower course through Ljubljana is channelized. Name Glinščica Creek was probably originally called the ''Glinica'', from which the names of Ljubljana's Glinica and Glince neighborhoods were derived, after which the name ''Glinščica'' was re-derived from the settlement. In any case, both the name of the stream and the name of the settlement are der ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
