Abstract:
This book is about the integration into English of the five nominal
suffixes -ment, -ance, -ation, -age and -al, which entered Middle English
via borrowings from French, and which now form abstract nouns by attaching
themselves to various base categories, as in cord/cordage or
adjust/adjustment. The possibility is considered that each suffix might
individually affect the general semantic profile of nouns which it forms. A
sample of first attributions from the Middle English Dictionary is analysed
for each suffix, in order to examine biases in suffixes towards certain
semantic areas. It is argued that such biases exist both in real-world
semantics, such as the choice of bases with moral or practical meanings,
and in distinct aspects of the shared core meaning of action or
collectivity expressed by the derived deverbal or denominal nouns. The
results for the ME database are then compared with the use of words in the
same suffixes across a selection of works from Shakespeare. In this way it
can be shown how such tendencies may persist or change over time.
Contents:
Productivity and Semantics - English and French in Medieval England - The
Suffix -ment in Middle English - The Suffix -ance/-ence in Middle English -
The Suffix -ation in Middle English - The Suffix -age in Middle English -

linguistics at the University of York, and in 2005 completed a PhD in the
field of word formation at the University of Leeds. She has taught Middle
English for the MA programme at Bristol University, humanities courses for
the Open University in Bristol and Manchester, and English language at the
