There are two types of derivational suffix -al: the type that

attaches to nouns and forms adjectives as in central, coastal,

and musical, and the type that attaches to verbs and forms

nouns as in refusal, proposal, and recital. The second type,

called a deverbal suffix, can derive well-formed nouns only

if three requirements are satisfied. One is that the final

syllable of the verb it attaches to has stress, and based on

this requirement, English lacks nouns like *fidgetal,

*promisal, and *abandonal. The data in (1) and (2)

exemplify the other two requirements.

Requirement 2:
(1) betrothal, arrival, acquittal
*rebukal, *impeachal, *detachal
Requirement 3:
(2) rental, dispersal, rehearsal
*acceptal, *resistal, *engraftal
