Our data are taken from the Taiwan News Smart Web (2019). Collocation [13,7] and Semantic prosody [25,26] is the research framework of this study. Then the criteria for identifying affixoids [29,8] will be taken for further examining the data. The goal of the study is to investigate the morphological and semantic attributes of [X-ma] nominals and to find out why the affixoids are productive. The research goals are: (1) to reveal the semantic prosody of [X-ma] nowadays; (2) to show whether the [X-ma] structures are compounding or affixation. The findings indicate that [X-ma] expresses more positivity than negativity. The -ma in Modern Mandarin is developing toward an affix, now an affixoid.]]></p></abstract>
