On the Productivity of Polish Adjectival Suffixes – Revisited

Summary/Abstract: Productivity is a central concept of word formation. There is a general agreement that it can be defined as a degree to which a given word formation rule is able to coin new words; however when it comes to a more detailed elaboration of this definition there is no more room for unanimity. For the purpose of this presentation we adopt the hapaxconditioned measure of the degree of productivity (Baayen 1993).The paper examines Polish derived adjectives. The data are drawn from the National Corpus of Polish. We discuss and extend modifications proposed by Gaeta & Ricca (2005) which aim at overcoming some drawbacks of Baayen’s approach. Finally we compare derived adjectives attested in the National Corpus of Polish with an unabridged dictionary.
