    It is the purpose of the following paper to attempt a coherent classification of the generally recognized products of the action of analogy in language. The material to be employed in illustrating the classifications is rarely new. The discussions of Paul, Osthoff, and Henry present no basis of classification that can be made exhaustive, and hence afford no means of ascertaining what are the limitations of the action of this important factor in linguistic development. Furthermore, the various classifications suggested — most notable of which is Paul’s division into “stoffliche” and “formale” — describe only the results of the action of analogy,...
