Corpora: Affixes in Derivational Morpholology

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me...

I am looking for a list of morphological affixes used in derivational
morphology for English.

eg. anti-, -ness, -th, pseudo-, quasi-, -ish

I have seen estimates of around 75 prefixes and 230 suffixes. Ideally,
this list would come with semantic sub-categorisation.

eg.	negation:
		a- (as in asexual)
		im- (as in immoral)
		in- (as in inanimate)
	approximation:
		pesudo-
		quasi-
		-ish

Any help is greatly appreciated. Last resort is to generate the list
automatically from MRDs. However, subcategorisation will be difficult
using this approach...

Thanks,

Darren.
