A Case Study of -some and -able Derivatives in the OED3: Examining the Diachronic Output and Productivity of Two Competing Adjectival Suffixes by Chris A. Smith

“…This hypothesis is however difficult to establish for multiple reasons: 1) blocking is a gradient phenomenon, rather than a cut-and-dried pressure; 2) the highly different frequency of usage of -some and -able in historical and contemporary corpora make it difficult to compare on a large scale; 3) other pressures exist, which haven’t been included in this study, such as other suffixations which may also have caused a chain reaction of adaptation within the language system. …”

The suffix -ee: history, productivity, frequency and violation of stress rules by Ives Trevian

“…The purpose of this paper is (1) to show how this historical process came into being, namely when the change occurred from usage in legal language to other uses; (2) to examine this suffix in terms of its morphological productivity, notably to distinguish well-established nouns from mere nonce words, chiefly used as strictly contrastive (e.g. cutter / cuttee, jester / jestee); (3) to ascertain the frequency of -ee suffixed nouns; to do so we have confronted our corpus of -ee nouns with the word frequency search engine Google Books Ngram Viewer and the Collins Dictionary’s Recorded Usage Charts, the former noting the frequency of words since the 16th century and the latter containing dated sentence examples; (4) to determine how many words in -ee violate the rule proscribing two consecutive stresses (e.g. aˌsyˈlee, aˌwarˈdee), this violation being, in principle, allowed only in compound words (e.g. …”

ON THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THE CHINESE SUFFIXES −兒 −R, −化 −HUÀ AND −頭 −TOU by Giorgio Francesco Arcodia, Bianca Basciano

“…In this paper we shall adopt Baayen’s P measure of productivity for a corpus-based study of the productivity of three Mandarin derivational suffixes, namely the nominalizer/diminutive −兒 −r, −化 −huà ‘−ise, −ify’ and −頭 −tou, a ‘dummy’nominal suffix (Lin 2001:82), in order to assess how this index relates to our received knowledge about the productivity of such forms, and, also, to compare our results with a previous study by Nishimoto (2003) on a small corpus of Modern Chinese. …”
