The suffix -ee: history, productivity, frequency and violation of stress rules by Ives Trevian

“…The purpose of this paper is (1) to show how this historical process came into being, namely when the change occurred from usage in legal language to other uses; (2) to examine this suffix in terms of its morphological productivity, notably to distinguish well-established nouns from mere nonce words, chiefly used as strictly contrastive (e.g. cutter / cuttee, jester / jestee); (3) to ascertain the frequency of -ee suffixed nouns; to do so we have confronted our corpus of -ee nouns with the word frequency search engine Google Books Ngram Viewer and the Collins Dictionary’s Recorded Usage Charts, the former noting the frequency of words since the 16th century and the latter containing dated sentence examples; (4) to determine how many words in -ee violate the rule proscribing two consecutive stresses (e.g. aˌsyˈlee, aˌwarˈdee), this violation being, in principle, allowed only in compound words (e.g. …”
