This book deals with one of the central problems for theories of
word-formation, the productivity of morphological processes. The
productivity of these processes is assessed, using both text-based
and dictionary - based measures (Cobuild corpus vs. Oxford English
Dictionary). Implementing Optimality Theory and Jackendorff's
Lexical Conceptual Semantics, a large number of 20th century
neologisms extracted from the OED are investigated with regard to
their phonological, morphological and semantic characteristics. On
the theoretical level the proposed analysis presents evidence
against the separation of meaning and form in derivational
morphology and for a sign-based, output-oriented model instead.
