inflections in English. Suffixes can form a new part of speech, e.g.: beauty — beauti/ful/. They can also change the meaning of the root, e.g.: black — blackish. Inflections are morphemes used to change grammar forms of the word, e.g.: work — works' — worked—working. English is not a highly inflected language (other point of view).
Depending on the morphemes used in the word there are four structural types of words in English:

  1. simple (root) words consist of one root morpheme and an inflexion (boy, warm, law, tables, tenth);

  2. derived words consist of one root morpheme, one or several affixes and an inflexion (unmanageable, lawful);

  3. compound words consist of two or more root morphemes and an inflexion (boyfriend, outlaw);

  4. compound-derived words consist of two or more root morphemes, one or more affixes and an inflexion (left-handed, warm-hearted, blue-eyed).

In conformity with structural types of words we distinguish two main types of word-formation: word-derivation (encouragement, irresistible, worker) and word-composition (blackboard, daydream, weekend).
Within these types further distinction may be made between the ways of forming words:

The basic ways of forming words in word-derivation are affixation (feminist, pseudonym) and conversion (water — to water, to run — a run, slim — to slim).



The theory of Immediate Constituents (I.C.) was originally set forth by L. Bloomfield as an attempt to determine the ways in which lexical units are related to one another. This kind of analysis is used in lexicology mainly to discover the derivational structure of lexical units.
Immediate constituents are any of the two meaningful parts of a word. The main constituents are an affix and a stem. For example, L. Bloomfield analyzed the word ungentlemanly. It consists of a negative prefix un— + an adjective stem. First we separate a free and a bound forms: un— + gentlemanly and gentleman + -ly. Then we break the word gentleman: gentle + man. At any level we obtain only two ICs, one of which is a stem, and, as a result, we get the formula: un + (gentle + man) ly.
The adjective eatable consists of two ICs eat + able and may be described as a
