<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Today I discovered in the
announcement of the world
championship of chess an interesting coinage “chessdom.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I wonder how productive
word formation with the suffix
–dom is in modern English, be it cases like wisdom, martyrdom, kingdom,
Christendom in which the semantic value of the suffix is not the same.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
