| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to examine the development of Late Modern English from the viewpoint of “word formation.” My linguistic material is focused on to the epistolary novels written by Samuel Richardson who, I assume, must have been innovative in creating new words, and thus could have influenced female writers of succeeding generations. I have proved this assumption, partly by analyzing the lexical structure of specific examples, and partly by comparing his works with those of his contemporary writers, particularly of female writers.
