Franzosische Ereignisnominalisierungen: Abstrakte Bedeutung und regelhafte Wortbildung

by Melanie Uth

Overview

In word formation, the French suffixes -ment and -age have similar meanings (e.g. gonflement - swelling, gonflage - inflating). This book analyses the abstract meaning of the two suffixes and shows their systematic differences at an abstract semantic level. As its starting point it considers the speaker's knowledge and the criteria by which these suffixes are used to form derivations.
