The notion of a mental lexicon has its historical roots in practical reference dictionaries. The distributional analysis of dictionaries provides one means of investigating the structure of the mental lexicon. We review our earlier work with dictionaries, based on a three-way horserace model of lexical access and production, and then present the most recent results of our ongoing analysis of the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition on CD-ROM, which traces changes in productivity over time of the English suffixes -ment and -ity, both of which originate in French borrowings. Our results lead us to question the validity of automatic analogy from a set of existing words as the driving force behind morphological productivity.
心理词汇的概念在实用参考词典中有其历史根源。词典的分布分析为研究心理词汇的结构提供了一种方法。我们回顾了我们早期基于词汇提取和生成的三向赛马模型对词典的研究工作，然后展示了我们对《牛津英语词典》第二版光盘进行持续分析的最新结果，该分析追踪了源自法语借词的英语后缀-ment和-ity随时间的生产率变化。我们的结果使我们质疑将一组现有单词的自动类推作为形态生产率背后驱动力的有效性。
