Citazioni 

Now consider the phenomenon of blocking discussed in Aronoff [Aronoff, M., 1976, "Word Formation in Generative Grammar", MIT Press, Cambridge]. Aronoff pointed out that adjectives in "-ous" could freely make abstract noun in "-ness" but could only make nouns in "-ity" if there were no other abstract noun in "-y". [...] Thus the existence of one of this forms "blocks" the existence of the other.
- Anshen & Aronoff (2004), a pag.41
