SUMMARY
On productive and profitable word-formation mles in Icelandic’
Keyvvords: derivational morphology, word-formation rules, productivity, produc-
tion, competence, performance, blocking effects
ln the literature, productivity of a word-formation rule generally refers to both the
ubility of a speaker to form a new word by using this mle (this ability is then a part
°f the inherent knowledge of the language user) and the production or output of the
tn!6 as measured by the number of words created by it and occurring in speech and
texts. The main purpose of this paper is to differentiate between those two notions by
relating them to key elements in Chomskyan linguistics, namely competence and
Performance. Productivity of a word-formation mle is then seen as a part of the lan-
Suage user’s competence: certain word formation mles are productive in the speak-
er s grammar in the sense that they can be used to form new words. The extent to
which they are actually used by speakers at any given time is a matter of performance.
^he production of a word-formation mle is thus the result of the performance of a
sPcaker (or a number of speakers, rather) and this result can then be found in record-
