Affixal Regualrity and Generality in Kurdish
Roza Raza Tahir
The present study aims at analyzing the regularity and generality of derivational affixes in Kurdish. The study chooses ten affixes so as to discover their regularity and generality which are (-y, ba-y, -āna, -i:n, -awa, -āndn, bê-, nā-, -ar, and –ai:y). It will be shown that regularity and generality are strongly tied to productivity. So, the study illustrates the degree of productivity of each affixes so as to show which one has the highest and the lowest degree of productivity.
