The period between 1150 and 1500 marks a time in which the English lexicon and word formation system underwent significant changes, not least owing to the adoptions of numerous Romance borrowings. Focusing on deadjectival and denominal formations, this study traces developments in the frequency and productivity of twelve abstract-noun forming suffixes of Germanic and Romance origin (among them -DOM, -HOOD, -NESS, -SHIP, -ITY and -ERY) on the basis of selected corpora, including the Linguistic Atlas of Early Middle English, the Middle English Grammar Corpus and the Penn-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Middle English. The implementation of subperiods of 40 and 50 years allows a fine-grained quantitative and qualitative analysis of variation in suffix usage across time, space and text types. A particular focus lies on parallel derivatives such as falsedom, falsehood, falseness, falseship and falsity, i.e. formations which contain the same base but a different suffix. The study reveals that during investigation the suffixes are not differentiated semantically in a systematic manner ; rather, the occurence of a particular suffic can be influenced by stylistic factors such as rhyme or structural parallelism and generally reflects the suffix usage typical of a specific region and/or text type at a particular point in time. Moving beyond a traditional structuralist framework, this study adopts a diachronic and socio-pragmatic perspective, taking into account recent developments in corpus linguistics and new approaches to the assessment of productivity in word formation.

This volume is a vital research tool for anyone working with Middle English prose texts. It is designed to give immediate access to the indices now found separately in the first twenty descriptive manuscript catalogues published as The Index of Middle English Prose. This single new volume enables scholars to quickly find all surviving manuscript copies of a particular text. In addition to an index of first lines, the volume contains other finding aids in the form of an index of final lines and of acephalous and atelous texts. A general index covers subjects, rubrics and titles, and there is also a summary contents list for each of the twenty published catalogues.
