In this paper we study growth series associated to commutator subgroups of surface groups. We conclude that these growth series are not rational. 0. INTRODUCTION In the last few years there has been considerable interest in the growth series for the word length of surface groups G relative to a finite symmetric set of generators Go. If for h E G we let lhl denote the word length of h (i.e. the smallest number of generators from Go required in writing h) and write N(n) = #{h E GC: hl = n}, then the growth series is given by
