This seminar will study the major processes of derivation in Modern English (affixation, conversion, backformation, truncation, etc.) by investigating the regularities found in the different patterns. Different theoretical approaches to derivation will be considered (lexical morphology, distributed morphology, word-based morphology, etc.). Emphasis will thereby be placed on the success of the theories in explaining the regularities found in the empirical data.
