agglutination (collage)

(biology) clumping of particles, from the Latin "to glue" (linguistics) a process in linguistic morphology derivation in which complex words are formed by stringing together morphemes, each with a single grammatical or semantic meaning (ex. Turkish "evlerinizden, or "from your houses," consists of the morphemes, ev-ler-iniz-den with the meanings house-plural-your-from) [Bachelard, Poetics of Space, the dialectics of inside and outside, 213].
