The article is an empirical, corpus-based study of conversion sampled in the language of Shakespeare’s plays. It surveys quantitative tendencies of conversion patterns occurring in the corpus, discusses the productivity of referential types, and looks into the qualitative aspects of N→V data. The latter issue is then placed against the context of general discussion on conversion that has been being held in the present scholarship.

The article aims at investigating the concept of morphological productivity, which, although frequently applied in the discussion of various word-formational analyses, has not, as it seems, received attention sufficient for its disambiguation. In order to clarify this issue, the article inquires into the complex interrelations of such notions as productivity, transparency, frequency, and potentiality. Moreover, the view of productivity as a cline is also inspected, and, consequently, the linguistic and extralinguistic constraints on productivity are scrutinised and commented on.

The present article is an empirical, data-oriented study which focuses on the problem of morphological conversion and the way this mechanism was employed in Old English as a way of deriving new lexemes. The article briefly discusses the quantitative characteristics of the attested types, presents patterns of directionality and estimates the degree of availability of conversion in Old English grammar. The main part and purpose of the study, however, concerns the semantic characteristics of conversions sampled in the corpus. Drawing on the framework of semantic categories formulated by Clark and Clark (1979) and Plag (2003), the study aims to demonstrate semantic effects of the so-called zero-affix in Old English by looking into the relation that holds between the motivating base and the resultant derivative. Despite the fact that the availability of conversion was still quite limited in the Old English period, possibly due to numerous inflections that may have inhibited the transparency of this process, the study allows us to see how this process emerged and subsequently developed into one of the most productive word-formational techniques in the English language.
