T1  - Konsequenzen der "los"-Suffigierung im Deutschen: Korpushäufigkeit, emotional-affektive Effekte und konstruktionsgrammatische Perspektiven
T2  - Zeitschrift für Wortbildung : ZWJW = Journal of word formation
N2  - Based on the privative derivational suffix -los, we test statements found in the literature on word formation using a – at least in this field – novel empirical basis: a list of affective-emotional ratings of base nouns and associated -los derivations. In addition to a frequency analysis based on the German Reference Corpus, we show that, in general, emotional polarity (so-called valence, positive vs. negative emotions) is reversed by suffixation with -los. This change is stronger for more polarized base nouns. The perceived intensity of emotion (so-called arousal) is generally lower for -los derivations than for base nouns. Finally, to capture the results theoretically, we propose a prototypical -los construction in the framework of Construction Morphology.
