    • 1977, Jürgen Bodenstein, The Excitement of Verbal Adventure:
      Partly it deals with aspects of word-formation (e.g. neo-classical compounds and blends), partly with idiosyncratic invention of new words or of familiar words with new meanings.
    • 1983, Laurie Bauer, English Word-Formation[1]:
      A third kind of blend is the type where the new lexeme looks as though it is or might be analysable in terms of other word-formation processes, in particular as a neo-classical compound.
