The main factors taken to be responsible for constraining or restricting the application of word-formation rules are surveyed. On the one hand, constraints of a general nature will be discussed which may be due to several distinct reasons ranging from our concrete cognitive abilities to different views of approaching word-formation from a theoretical point of view.

Abstract

The main factors taken to be responsible for constraining or restricting the application of word-formation rules are surveyed. On the one hand, constraints of a general nature will be discussed which may be due to several distinct reasons ranging from our concrete cognitive abilities to different views of approaching word-formation from a theoretical point of view. On the other, a typology of more specific restrictions will be provided which result from the interactionof the different levels of linguistic analysis.
