Definitions of productivity 12 1. The probability of a word formation pattern accepted as the model for new/potential words (Aronoff 1983: 163, fn. 1). 2. The likelyhood that a pattern will apply to new forms (Bybee 1995: 430, Bybee and Thompson 1997: 384). 3. The interaction between the potential of a morphological process to generate repetitive non-creative forms and the degree to which it is utilized in language use to yield new lexical items (Bauer 2001: 211).

Measurements of productivity (1) 13 1) The number of words a morphological process may apply to (Lieber 1981: 114-115). 2) The number of new words coined by a morphological process (during a specific period of time) (Anhsen and Aronoff 1989). 3) The proportion between actual items and potential items generated by a morphological process (Aronoff 1976: 36). 4) The low token frequency of items as compared to the higher mean token frequency of other items in a corpus (Aronoff 1983).
