This is a genuinely intriguing book for readers interested in derived words formed by similar patterns in academic writing. Showing how such words are used by different communities of experts in humanities and social sciences, it proves that looking at morphologically complex words in these disciplines is truly thought-provoking. * Renáta Panocová, Professor of Linguistics, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, Slovakia * This landmark study reveals how derivational morphology shapes academic discourse. Twardzisz combines corpus analysis and close reading to examine affixal productivity, stability, and variation across disciplines. Rigorous and data-rich, it offers insights vital for linguists, applied linguists, and academic writing specialists while advancing theory and practice in morphology and corpus linguistics. * Grant Eckstein, Associate Professor, Brigham Young University, USA *
