As to word-formation, it has to be stressed that the progress made in linguistic research, the setting-up of the synchronic principle and the elaboration of quite a number of formal, functional and semantic rules in word-formation is not yet generally reflected in the lexicographical treatment of word-formation. In addition, dictionaries are not very explicit on the productivity of word-formation processes. (Stein 1985:42)
