Summary (1)<br />
38<br />
• The 19 different usages of the term productivity reveals a<br />
highly structured and systematic metaconcept of which several<br />
inferentially-related subconcepts can be discerned.<br />
• The general concept of productivity within linguistics can be<br />
broken down into three main subconcepts, i.e. those of (a)<br />
generality, (b) regularity and (c) extensibility.<br />
• <strong>Productivity</strong> is as a function of a construction’s type frequency<br />
and its coherence, and the inverse correlation between the two.<br />
