1. An accessible introduction to morphological productivity and the mental lexicon can be found in Plag (2003: ch. 3). Storage of and access to complex words in the lexicon are explained in more detail in Baayen (1993), Frauenfelder and Schreuder (1992). For corpus-based studies of the productivity of English affixes see Baayen and Lieber (1991), Baayen and Renouf (1996), Plag (1999: ch. 5), or Plag et al. (1999). Cowie (1999) and Scherer (2005) are diachronic studies of the productivity of some word-formation processes in English and German, respectively. The methodological problems involved in corpus-based analyses of derivational morphology are discussed in considerable detail in Plag (1999: chapter 5). Book-length studies of mainly structural aspects of productivity are Plag (1999) and Bauer (2001), which also contain useful summaries of the pertinent literature. For further elaboration of the psycholinguistic aspects of productivity, see Hay (2001), and Hay and Baayen (2002), (2003).
