Heterogeneity in Word-formation Patterns: A Corpus-based Analysis of Suffixation with -ee and Its Productivity in English
5
 
 
Heterogeneity in Word-formation Patterns: A Corpus-based Analysis of Suffixation with -ee and Its Productivity in EnglishPostulated word-formation rules often exclude formations that can nevertheless be found in actual usage. This book presents an in-depth investigation of a highly heterogeneous word-formation pattern in English: the formation of nouns by suffixation with "-ee." Rather than relying on a single semantic or syntactic framework for analysis, the study combines diachronic, cognitive and language-contact perspectives in order to explain the diversity in the formation and establishment of "-ee" words. It also seeks to challenge previous measurements of productivity and proposes a new way to investigate the relationship between actual and possible words.
