Abstract

This paper investigates the formation of blends, a linguistic structure that appears increasingly in advertising, journalism and entertainment, as it captures the public's attention. It then compares the English formation estrategies with those in Spanish and goes on to analyse ships, very similar linguistic structures that have never been studied before. The hypothesis is to see if they follow the same formation criteria as blends. Tables have been drawn up with the formation characterists of blends to classify the examples of ships, both in English and Spanish, and to see if they follow the same formation strategies as blends or whether there are new ones, and finally, to compare the similarities and differences between the two languages. Once this has been done, it can be seen that the vast majority of ships are formed following the same strategy as the vast majority of blends. Thus, ships are linguistic structures that form part of one of the categories of blends. Although most ships, in both languages, are formed following the same criteria as blends, there are some new strategies that are frequent. In Spanish it is not a very common linguistic resource and it is more difficult to find examples.
