| Abstract | In an effort to understand how language changes across time. I have taken advantage of the information inherent in the lexicon of the sixteenth-century writer, Francois Rabelais, whose five major works occurred, for the most part, at five different points in time in the middle third of that century. The unit of analysis, or point of focus, has been some seventy suffixes active in the century. Initially, using historicaletymological dictionaries, I examined Rabelais' sixteenth-century derivatives, seeking to discover if and what the relations were between the numbers of such words both synchronically and diachronically in the five books. A major finding was that derivatives of suffixes of disparate syntactic categories (e.g. forming nouns and verbs) are included by Rabelais in parallel quantities across time. A large number of -ement words in his first work are accompanied by relatively large numbers of -er words in that work, while the second work contains smaller numbers of the derivatives of the two suffixes, for example. But these rises and falls apply to one group of syntactically disparate, derivative-forming suffixes, while another pattern of rises and falls.(i.e. rising and falling derivative tallies) applies to another, potentially disparate, group of derivative-forming suffixes. Why this occurs I can only attribute to whatever constraint rules govern sentence generation and, concomitantly, entire narratives: A sentence or a story cannot consist of all verbs, for example. But our knowledge of these constraints is so sparse that the asking of such fundamental questions of composition, both diachronic and synchronic, even if such asking only begets more questions, is promising. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
