The Semantics of Derivational Morphology : A Synchronic and Diachronic Investigation of the Suffixes -age and -ery in English
(Reklamlänk)
This book presents a synchronic and diachronic investigation of two derivational English affixes. The suffixes -age and -ery are analysed on the basis of dictionary and corpus data and an adapted semantic map method is introduced as a new way of accounting for the semantic structure of derivatives.
