Citazioni 

We assume back formation to be an analogical process and thus comparatively slow. In order to create a form such as "orientate" on the basis of such models as "location-locate", before extracting the form "orient" from his lexicon. This should only possible if the form in "-ation" is more frequent than the verbal base.
- Anshen & Aronoff (2004), a pag.40-41
