Comparing the productivity of Estonian deverbal suffixes -mine, -us, and -ja in five registers: A quantitative usage-based approach

Abstract: Abstract. This article provides an empirical, usage-based account of the different aspects of morphological productivity of three Estonian deverbal suffixes: -mine, -us, and -ja, in five different registers. The fundamental quantitative measures developed by Baayen (1989, 1992, 1993) and his colleagues are applied to relatively small corpus samples in order to test how well these measures conform to the linguist’s intuition about the productivity of the derivation patterns under different communicative setting… Show more

“…We planned to also include nominalisation frequencies as evidence for encoding K-states. However, the suffix - mine is the most productive deverbal nominalisation suffix in Estonian (Kasik 2015, Pilvik 2019). Our corpus search revealed that oblique complement verbs actually showed higher nominalisation frequencies than canonical complement verbs, when we controlled for the frequency of verb stems.…”
