    Hi,

    I wonder if anyone can help me...

    I am looking for a list of morphological affixes used in derivational
    morphology for English.

    eg. anti-, -ness, -th, pseudo-, quasi-, -ish

    I have seen estimates of around 75 prefixes and 230 suffixes. Ideally,
    this list would come with semantic sub-categorisation.

    eg. negation:
                    a- (as in asexual)
                    im- (as in immoral)
                    in- (as in inanimate)
            approximation:
                    pesudo-
                    quasi-
                    -ish

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Last resort is to generate the list
    automatically from MRDs. However, subcategorisation will be difficult
    using this approach...

    Thanks,

    Darren.
