Contrastingly, an Open Class offers possibilities for expansion. Typical open classes such as Noun s and Verb s can and do get new words often, through the usual means such as Compounding , Derivation , coining, borrowing, etc. A closed class may get new items through these same processes, but the change takes much more time. The closed class is normally viewed as part of the core language and is not expected to change. (Most readers no doubt can think of new nouns or verbs entering their lexicon, but it's very unlikely that they can recall any new prepositions or pronouns appearing in the same fashion.) ] REFERENCES
