Answer:
According to Bauer (1983: 33), “word formation deals with the formation of new lexemes” whereas Yule (1996: 64) defines 'word formation processes' as "the study of the processes whereby new words come into being in a language […]". Kortmann (1999: 58) talks about those processes which enlarge the vocabulary and therefore create new lexemes. In my opinion, by dividing the phrase 'word formation processes' into its components the term almost explains itself, namely 'the processes of the formation of words', thus this may be a very appropriate definition.
