This study aims to cast light on the nature and features of word formation in the lexis of Chinese English and provide a synchronic formational analysis of Chinese English neologisms by adopting a sequential data-driven approach with a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The study has 1) constructed a hierarchical and quantificational four-level structure for Chinese English word formation through meticulous coding, categorization, and calculation of 3522 headwords collected in the Chinese English Dictionary; and 2) revealed departures of the present taxonomy with extant models of indigenized varieties in both qualitative (coherence, inclusiveness, refinedness, adaptability) and quantitative measures (the changing status of formation processes, source languages, and transliteration systems). The study sheds significant insights into the motivation of Chinese English words, the status of the Chinese English variety, the sociolinguistic conditions of the variety, and word formation in the Expanding Circle where a dictionary of the variety is available.

汉英词的构词：来自汉英词典的证据

本研究旨在阐明汉语英语词汇中构词的性质和特征，采用定性和定量相结合的顺序数据驱动方法，对汉语英语新词进行同步构词分析。该研究1）通过对汉英词典中收集的3522个词条进行细致的编码、分类和计算，构建了汉英构词的层次量化四级结构。; 2) 在定性（连贯性、包容性、精致性、适应性）和定量测量（形成过程、源语言和音译系统的变化状态）方面，揭示了当前分类法与现存的本土化品种模型的偏离。该研究对汉语英语单词的动机、汉语英语变体的地位、变体的社会语言条件以及在有该变体词典的扩展圈中的构词具有重要意义。
