Why are there more English words ending in -ness than ending in
-ity? What is it about some endings that makes them more widely
usable than others? Can we measure the differences in the facility
with which the various affixes are used? Does the difference in
facility reflect a difference in the way we treat words containing
these affixes in the brain? These are the questions examined in
this book. Morphological productivity has, over the centuries, been
a major factor in providing the huge vocabulary of English and
remains one of the most contested areas in the study of
word-formation and structure. This book takes an eclectic approach
to the topic, applying the findings for morphology to syntax and
phonology. Bringing together the results of twenty years' work in
the field, it provides new insights and considers a wide range of
linguistic and psycholinguistic evidence.
