Abstract
This paper is an attempt to show how the OED earliest quotations of verbs and deverbal coinages
from the period of Middle English can lay the foundation for a study of the expansion of loosely
synonymous deverbal word-forming families over time. Two areas open for diachronic modelling
are suggested: comparison of the constituents’ ordinal positions in the strings of varied categorial
affiliation and assessment of the extent of similarity of these processes. The description is supplemented
with references to the developed interactive electronic framework.
