Affix borrowing affix extraction = indirect matter borrowing affixes of L2 origin are borrowed as parts of borrowed word-forms, then expanded to non-L2 bases affix replication = direct matter borrowing affixes of L2 origin are borrowed directly, without the mediation of word-form borrowing
17
Affix replication [D]espite the many claims concerning the “borrowing” of phonology, morphology, and even syntax, there has been no convincing demonstration that such structural change occurs without mediation by some other medium or process. (Winford 2003: 61)
