This paper focuses on -er synthetic compounds with a deverbal second constituent having a Latinate origin, such as office manager or service-provider. In particular, in the paper we elaborate synchronic, diachronic, and distributional differences between Latinate and non-Latinate synthetic compounds in order to (1) expand the role of Latinate word formation in English and (2) propose a new subtype of borrowed (or contact) morphology, i.e., a post-loan word formation pattern as an internal English development after one of its loaned elements. In this subtype of contact-induced morphology, native English synthetic compounds constitute the model for Latinate formations, which occurred much later and integrated Latinate bases into the English pattern. Hence, we claim that Latinate synthetic compounds are neither borrowed nor extracted from borrowed material, but produce a word formation pattern which has been newly developed within English, by analogy with already existing non-Latinate models, but without developing semantic subfamilies, in contrast to non-Latinate synthetic compounds. From a theoretical viewpoint, we demonstrate that Latinate synthetic compound families primarily encourage a compositional analysis, unlike non-Latinate families, which suggest either compounding or derivation, or the complementarity (superposition) of both.

本文着重介绍具有拉丁语系起源的含糊状第二成分的-er合成化合物，例如办公室经理或服务提供者。特别是，在本文中，我们详细阐述了拉丁语和非拉丁语合成化合物之间的共时性，历时性和分布差异，以便（1）扩大英语中拉丁语单词形成的作用，以及（2）提出借用的新亚型（或接触）形态，即，借后单词形成模式是其借用要素之一之后的内部英语发展。在这种接触诱导形态的亚型中，本地英语合成化合物构成了拉丁语形成的模型，这种模式发生得很晚，并将拉丁语基础整合到了英语模式中。因此，我们声称拉丁文的合成化合物既不是借来的也不是从借来的材料中提取的，而是产生了一种类似于英语中已经存在的非拉丁文模型的英语新发展的构词模式，但与非拉丁酸盐合成化合物相比，却没有发展语义亚族。从理论上讲，我们证明拉丁裔合成化合物家族主要鼓励成分分析，这与非拉丁裔家族不同，后者暗示二者是化合物或衍生，或两者的互补性（重叠）。
