Publisher Description
ABSTRACT The present paper is a report on an on-going research concerning the productivity of some French suffixes in Early Middle English (1150-1350). The suffixes selected for discussion are: -esse, -age, -crie and -ment. The tools used for analysis are MED online, the Helsinki Corpus and several Early Middle English texts. The addition of the texts has been dictated by the fact that linguistic corpora are by and large inadequate for diachronic word-formation research.
