title = "Faroese",
abstract = "Word-formation in Faroese is achieved by means of composition and derivation. Affixes are inherited from Old Norse but, due to intense language contact with Danish forcenturies, many derivational affixes are borrowed from Danish. There are two kinds of composition: stem/root compounds and compounds with a linking element. The latter is based in most cases on the historical genitive. In addition, the lexicon of Faroese can also be increased by neologisms.",
