Cette discussion autour de l'article de Goldberg et Jackendoff The English resultative as a family of constructions (Language, 2004, vol. 80, p. 532-568) regroupe un commentaire de H. C. Boas Determining the productivity of resultatives, un commentaire de S. Wechsler Weighing in on scales et une reponse des auteurs The end result(ative). La critique de Boas porte plus particulierement sur la maniere de prevoir exactement l'equilibre delicat entre idiosyncrasie et generalisation lors de l'etude de la productivite des resultatives, et celle de Wechsler porte sur les contraintes scalaires de l'adjectif resultatif.

Determining the Productivity of Resultatives: A Reply to Goldberg and Jackendoff

Historical linguists have long been divided in their views about the mechanisms behind paradigm leveling, with many invoking a special mechanism related to a universal preference for paradigm uniformity while others attribute leveling to the same mechanism responsible for other types of analogical change. I argue that although ‘proportional’ analogical innovation plays a major role in paradigm leveling, it cannot account for all cases, and that something akin to the ‘interference’ mechanisms commonly associated with contamination and folk etymology account well for the non-proportional instances. I further show that all of the mechanisms involved in paradigm leveling are also implicated in other types of analogical change, and I argue against the need to posit any universal bias against (stem) allomorphy.

The History of American Linguistics@@@First Person Singular: Papers from the Conference on an Oral Archive for the History of American Linguistics

The main purpose of this paper is, on the one hand, to show the relevance of the notion of analogy to English word-formation, and, on the other hand, to propose an array of (phonological, morphotactic, and semantic) similarities between analogy-based neologisms and the model words they are based on. The theoretical framework of this paper is Natural Morphology. In particular, we adopt Dressler & Ladanyi’s (1998: 35) approach to analogy, with a tripartite subdivision distinguishing surface analogy, created on the model of a unique concrete form, from rule productivity, with a precise abstract pattern described in a rule format, and from analogy via schema, with prototype actual words but no exact pattern. Examples of English creative neologisms of the three types, selected from the online collections "Neologisms", "New Words in Journalistic Text" (1997-2012) and "The Rice University Neologisms Database" (2004-2014), are adduced and categorised along scales of similarity between target and model.
The paper discusses analogy in relation to the key notions of creativity, productivity, and rule. It shows that analogy is not devoid of relations to morphological rules, as the oft-cited compound nouns 'earwitness' and whitelist, respectively after eyewitness and blacklist, demonstrate. Although analogy is less constrained than rules, it is viewed as a promising area of investigation in word-formation. The paper shows that surface analogies recur throughout the spectrum from rule-based to extra-grammatical formations. It identifies 
scales of affinities between target and model which allow for the association of the former with the latter. These scales may correspond to different degrees of easiness in both recognising the model (model recoverability) and understanding (or accepting) the target (target disambiguation)
