This chapter treats adjectives derived from verbs and roots. These include adjectives of variable result state (originally non-causative result states derived from a non-causative change of state suffix *dh or by laryngeal metathesis), propensity, property, event connection, capability, modality, event magnifiers, and even grammatical terms. One type was reanalysed from relating to the agent to relating to the event.Less

The chapter provides an overview of Elyot’s compilation based upon his own comments, and then concentrates on the lexicographical principles that characterize his particular approach. His word selection, his treatment of homographs and their lexicographical arrangement are described. The study of his grammatical framework reveals the use of some terms which, according to the OED, are first found in his dictionary. His descriptive analyses of word-formations are highlighted and a detailed account is given of his sources.Less
