Abstract
Despite their long history, blends are often seen as peripheral in the English language. Compared to other language phenomena, they get very little attention by researchers. Linguists cannot agree on what makes a true blend; some say that overlap between the source words is necessary and some say that clipping is enough. They also cannot agree on what makes a blend more or less conventional. The enTenTen20 corpus had a rich collection of English blends. They had a variety of structures, sizes, ages and origins. There were even cases of blends inspiring or being used to create new blends. The semi-official rules were frequently bent or broken. There were even a few cases where a term’s status as blend was uncertain. The way the common people use a language can have a strong impact on it.
