Bybee’s (1995) Usage 8 • Productivity as extensibility ... the ability to be extended to new items ... (1995: 426) • Productivity as regularity The main issue to be discussed is the role of type frequency in the determination of regularity or productivity. (1995: 426 [Emphasis added]) • Productivity as default status I will argue that default status or productivity is not necessarily associated with source-oriented rules. (1995: 444 [Emphasis added]) Bergen Jóhanna Barðdal June 5, 2008
Tomasello’s (2000) Usage 9 • Productivity as children’s use of language that goes beyond what they have heard from adults (Tomasello 2000: 211) ... both of which focus on children’s productivity, that is, their use of language in ways that go beyond what they have heard from adults. • Productivity as production of language (Tomasello 2000: 210) Thus, on the basis of hearing just The window broke ... they cannot go over to use He broke it ... This lack of productivity ... • Productivity as schematicity (Tomasello 2000: 236) This construction is highly abstract in the sense that it is not dependent on any particular word or phrase, and it is highly productive in the sense that any fluent speaker of English can generate innumerable further exemplars.
