| Citazioni | "Productive" means that a pattern may be applied to new items. Degrees of productivity are highly correlated with the type frequency of a pattern within a language. For the following discussion, it is useful to distinguish between the terms "productive" and "default". I have been using a gradient notion of productivity coinciding with the ability of a pattern to apply to novel forms. |
