(1). Verb to noun:

-ation, [[X]y ation]N    y=V,N

• expect →expectation, explore →exploration, bother →botheration (we can also input nouns and the output would be nouns using “-ation” Ex: “instrument -ation and experiment -ation) 

 

(2). Noun to verb:

-en, [[X]N en]v

• Strength →strengthen,  fright →frighten, threat →threaten

 

(3). Output (1) → Input (2):

• expectation →expectationen, exploration →explorationen, botheration →botherationen

The resulting words that have been formed from the outputs in (1) and from the inputs in (2), are not well formed words. Not only are these words not well formed, but they are not already-existing words. Nothing seems to operate or work in this process, because the output words e.g. expectation, exploration, and botheration already has an existing suffix (-ation). So, adding an extra suffixation (-en) does not correlate all together. Also, when trying to pronounce these new words, there’s an awkward pause “expectation-en” which indicates an imbalance when trying to pronounce these new derived words. If I were to take the suffixation (-en) and add it to the input words in question (1) ex: “bother-en,” it still would not be an existing word because of the categorisation. Although the pronunciation is more natural and balanced than if we had two suffixation (-ation, -en). In order to have already existing well formed words, we have to have the right lexical categorisation in correlation to the right suffixation to formulate well derived words.
