Learners of English must contend with the issues of affixation and word families. The use of affixes may greatly increase a learner’s vocabulary, but they may also produce lexical errors. This study examines the use of suffixed words in the free writings of Korean university students. It is found that while learners do employ a considerable number of suffixed words, the degree to which they do so is considerably less than is found in the writings of native speakers. This study also examines which suffixes learners use, finding that although some of them occur to degrees compatible with native speakers, several are severely underused. The study also examines learners’ novel attempts at using derivational suffixes; although the number of these is small, some patterns are noted. Finally, the distribution of individual sufffixed words by learners and native speakers is compared.
Abstract
Learners of English must contend with the issues of affixation and word families. The use of affixes may greatly increase a learner’s vocabulary, but they may also produce lexical errors. This study examines the use of suffixed words in the free writings of Korean university students. It is found that while learners do employ a considerable number of suffixed words, the degree to which they do so is considerably less than is found in the writings of native speakers. This study also examines which suffixes learners use, finding that although some of them occur to degrees compatible with native speakers, several are severely underused. The study also examines learners’ novel attempts at using derivational suffixes; although the number of these is small, some patterns are noted. Finally, the distribution of individual sufffixed words by learners and native speakers is compared.
