Investigating word-formation productivity from corpus data: suffixes deriving names of qualities

Summary/Abstract: In the “corpus age” of linguistics, the research in productivity in word-formation has focused on development of measures that enable the calculation of productivity from frequency data gained from large corpora. In this contribution, we determine the productivity of four suffixes that are used in names of qualities in Czech. The results obtained by respected productivity measures are compared with a tentative approach (inspired esp. by Dokulil, 1962) to determine the productivity of the suffixes on the basis of their systemic features. The disparity of results based on quantitative data vs. systemic features is interpreted in favor of combining both aspects.
