The interpretation of the data with regard to whether the two affixes contribute the same meaning is a little more complex. My data only allows me to conclude that the assumption of one single meaning change consistently induced by either affix does not seem justified :) (7/9)

Striking result for the doublets: there is no systematic relationship between the matching derivatives, distributional similarity accross the pairs ranging from very high to very low. (6/9)

Striking result for adjectives that take only either affix:
The distributional vectors of the adjectives form rough clusters in line with their affix-preference. In line with these two clusters, the vectors can be successfully used to predict the affix preference. (5/9)

I use distributional semantics to address both questions, taking a closer look at the distributional vectors of adjectives and their -ity or -ness derivatives. I look at both adjectives that only occur with either -ity or -ness as well as doublets (4/9)

However, there are also some doublets, and sometimes they seem quite interchangeable, othertimes not so much. (3/9)

We know that there are clear preferences, in both directions: some
adjectives, for example color adjectives, only take -ness. Others,
often originally from Romance languages, prefer -ity. (2/9)

New paper on #English #wordFormation with -ity and -ness out.
What is it about? In a nutshell: What determines the choice of ity/ness
for a given adjective? And do the two affixes contribute the same
meaning? (1/9)

Recently encountered usages of "Porn/Porno" as second part of German compounds to describe non-porn books:
"Politporno" (Boris Johnson's Unleashed), "Trauma-Porn" (Hanya Yanagihara's Ein wenig Leben/A Little Life)

Apropos some unrelated posting by @brembs, I read his blogpost on "German funder DFG: Why the sudden inconsistency?" from November 2023 --- still pretty interesting, and Katja Becker is also still president of the #DFG.

A rather beautiful classical Chinese compound for your Easterly enjoyment:
琴瑟 qínsè zither + zither (well, different kinds of zither, with the 瑟 sè "A more robust and serious instrument"). Metaphorically used to express close friendship.

Christoph Nonn, aus Kölner Sicht, zum Grund dafür dass die NSDAP 1933 stärkste Partei wurde: es hätte "am Verlust des Vertrauens der im Grunde unpolitischen Mehrheit gelegen", diese hätte "eine Gestaltung des Gemeinwesens nicht als ihre eigene Aufgabe verstanden und Politik nicht als Verantwortung."
