Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The present paper focuses on comparing the productivity of two affixes in English and their counterparts in Kurdish. The affixes are  the negative prefixes un- and na- and the nominal suffixes \u2013ness  and \u2013y in English and in Kurdish respectively. The degree of  productivity is strongly tied to  regularity and generality of  affixes The  researchers pointed out the  productivity of those affixes  based on their regularity and generality and the number of words produced by each affix . Dictionaries  were used  for measuring productivity.  The results showed that un- in English is more productive than na- in Kurdish while  -y in Kurdish  is more productive than -ness in English. It is concluded that affixes with the same meaning in different languages differ in their productivity while they sometimes show similarity in choosing similar word classes as their bases to coin new words in the two languages. Languages  <\/strong>use affixes  to coin new words  from the existing words. Affixes are described as productive or less productive or unproductive due to the number of the new words they can coin in language. The  paper aims at contrasting two English affixes, un- and \u2013ness, in English  with their counterparts, na- and \u2013y, in Kurdish to show the degree of productivity of those affixes  in the two languages. Dictionaries are used to measure the productivity of the affixes in English and Kurdish. <\/strong>The results showed that the negative prefix un-  in English is more productive  than its counterpart  na- in Kurdish while the nominal suffix \u2013y in Kurdish is more productive than the English suffix \u2013ness. It is concluded that both English and Kurdish use affixes to coin new words but that the affixes differ in productivity due to their regularity and generality.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n
