| Citazioni | Productivity implies that some messages in the system- old ones as well as the new one – are ‘plerematically complex’: that they consists of an arrangement of two or more pleremes, instead of each consisting of a single indivisible plereme. The productivity of any pattern – derivational, inflectional, or syntactical – is the relative freedom with which speakers coin new grammatical forms by it. |
