Some linguists have written analyses of "double -er suffixation" in English, in formations from particle verbs such as fix up > fixer upper. For example: "Double -er suffixation in English: morphological, phonological and sociolinguistic reflections", by Jim Walker

Another type of derivative from particle verbs that seems similar to me is what could be termed "double -ed" constructions, where -ed-...-edly and -ed-...-edness appear: e.g. "messeduppedness" and "fuckeduppedly" (the latter attested in Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace).

Does anyone know of linguistic analyses of these -edness and -edly forms?

    I won't call it doubled -ed, it is just a euphonic t inserted in the consonant clusters -pn- and -pl- and than written as ed. – Sir Cornflakes Mar 08 '22 at 09:40

    It certainly doesn't strike me as (purely) euphonic in nature but rather as some sort of morphological doubling just as brass tacks suggests (for one thing, there's nothing wrong with the clusters -pn- or -pl- in this context, cf. e.g. sharpness, deepness, cheapness, sharply, deeply, cheaply). – Miztli Mar 08 '22 at 10:08

    @jk-ReinstateMonica It is absolutely not a euphonic stop to split up the cluster. For one thing, it adds a syllable – optionally in messed-uppedness but, at least in my speech, mandatorily in fucked-uppedly, which can only be /fʌkˈdʌpədlɨ/ to me (and similarly with worn-outedly, done-innedly, etc.). And as Miztli says, those clusters don’t develop excrescent stops elsewhere, only in passive participle constructions. – Janus Bahs Jacquet Mar 08 '22 at 12:12
