%X The aim of this paper is to provide a corpus-based, cross-linguistic investigation of the prefix ¨¹ber-. Using the Corpus of Contemporary American English and a Hungarian webcorpus, I have collected data containing instances of ¨¹ber- and assigned a rating of productivity based on Baayen¡¯s (2009) productivity measures. Additionally, the bases to which ¨¹ber- is attached, the spelling of these constructions, genre in which they occur and their meaning have been examined in the corpus data set.
