Kempf, Luise; Hartmann, Stefan (24 February 2022). Productivity factors and affix life stages (Unpublished). In: 44. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft. Arbeitsgruppe 8: How Productive is Derivational Morphology?. Universität Tübingen. 23.–25.2.2022.
The goal of this contribution is twofold: First, it seeks to present a comprehensive model of productivity factors in derivational morphology. Based on previous research including our own work on word-formation change, we present an overview of factors that have been shown to enhance or inhibit the productivity of derivational patterns, and we discuss from a Construction Grammar perspective how these factors interact. Second, we refine this overview by taking into account the impact of these factors at different stages in the life span of an affix.
A number of productivity factors have been widely discussed, including type and token frequency (cf. De Smet 2020) or parsability and autonomous storage (Hay & Baayen 2002, Hay 2001, 2003, Blumenthal-Dramé 2012). We propose a multifactorial model that seeks to explain how those different factors are connected. In our presentation, we will focus on two factors and discuss them in more detail: the number of potential bases on the one hand and salience on the other.
