An explication for this is found in the concept whole word access (Hay and Baayen 2002: 204, 2003: 102-4), which explains that, in cases where the derived word is more frequent than its base, the speaker tends to see the formation as an indecomposable entity, which may ultimately contribute to the unproductivity of the affix. In this case, figures are obtained by dividing the frequency of the derived word by the frequency of its lexical base, that is, an inversely proportional operation such that the lower the results, the higher the productivity.
