Abstract
This study aims to examine the productivity of old Malay words that are contained in classic Malay texts. The ability of classical Malay texts was able to be examined through the presence of old Malay word variations based on the appearance of 1.000000 / corpus. In examining this emergence, words that are hapaxes were removed from the corpus-generated results. This study utilized the quantitative research design using the corpus linguistic statistical approach. This study used 7 classical Malay texts entitled Tips for Building a House. This classical text is non-literary and delivers architectural knowledge from feudal Malay scholars. The findings show that almost 54% of word are hapaxes in this classical text discourse. The stimulation of old Malay lexical used by past scholars showed less words reuse.
