Computer-based elicitation techniques are used to evaluate L2 French learn- ers’ ability to judge the relative productivity of a class of deverbal suffixes, including -age, -ment, -ure, -tion, -able . Tests are based on dynamically gener- ated new word forms for which subjects are requested to provide metalinguistic reactions on relative acceptability. L2 results are compared to those obtained from native French speakers by the same testing mechanism. Results show that while more advanced subjects show native-like scores, less advanced speakers show a variety of divergent responses, including failure to distinguish rela- tive productivity of suffixes or misordering of suffixes by relative productivity. The results obtained illustrate the value of the method and the software used (VINCI). They show as well that a ranking of subjects by their recognition of base verbs presented correlates well with their metalinguistic skills in dealing with suffixal productivity
