Introduction:
Morphological productivity is a vital factor that plays a significant role in developing the
identification of the ideas regarding the analysis and the use of English words in a proper and
useful manner. Thus it motivates the identification of the factors that need to be analyzed based
on the understanding of the ethical use of morphology in the English language (Pierrehumbert
and Granell, 2018 October). Affixal productivity is a definite term regarding the association of
the facts of the production of words, giving shape to a new mode of productivity of words. The
“morphological process” can be understood and identified as the involvement of the factors that
influence the generation of ideas regarding the production of words (Gatt and Fabri 2018). This
includes the affixation of the various non- concatenative processes such as the ablaut the
conversion as well as the back formation mode of formation of words, which leads to the
formation type regarding the illustrated structure of words (Lieber 2005). The affixal processes
are one of the important, popular as well as one of the most used modes of word formation and
production style.
Formation process
Productivity is a concept that is not associated with a productive or non-productive
feature in the language. Productivity is equivalent to the word creativity in literature. Plag (2018)
defined the term productivity as generalizing any specific feature that can be measured by
numerous linguistic items of a particular class with which it can occur. The formation process of
affixal productivity, as mentioned by Harvard Baayen, is mentioned in the following section.
Firstly, divide the words with the accordance of their morphemes and gather or listing the
affixes. Secondly, writing the meaning of the morphemes with special stress on the affixes.

Third, adding more words with each SET from own. Fourth, stating the class of the word and
identifying the ground for which the affixes are included. Fifth, identifying the set that provided
hard times for separating the ground and the affixes.
Deciding the method
The method selected by Harvard Baayen for measuring affixal productivity is measuring
the empirical validity of the productivity statistics. In this Regard, Baayen criticized the affixal
productivity measurement by Marle 1992. It is the most common English derivational model of
word formation; hence the idea of word formation is a fundamental idea that enhances a bulk of
examples regarding the production of words. The idea behind the affixal mode of word
formation is mostly found to be non-affixal word-formation. The concept of the involvement of
the productivity of words is a vital factor when it comes to compounding. Compounding
develops the idea of word formation, which motivates, word productivity which reflects a
particular purpose regarding the specific addressing to the theoretical literature (Lüdeling,
Hirschmann and Shadrova, 2017). Where an affix is a bound morpheme, an inflectional affix is
something that is known to modify a form or grammatical category of any word. Baayen’s model
of dual processing race of the morphological access is one such model that connects a link
between productivity and parsing. For attempting to model such a connection between parsing
and productivity explicitly, Baayen had to propose a psychologically motivated measure.
The forms of word formation
There are the pre-dominant approaches in the area of the simulations of language dealing
with the random vocabularies and focusing in the emergence of the compositionality and
meaning. The other people make sue of the game of theoretic assumptions that are modeling the
