Major Types of Word-formation

  • Derivational affixes are Immediate Constituents of derived words in all parts of speech.
  • Derivational affixes are added to derivational bases.
  • Affixes can be of two types: prefixes and suffixes.

Major Types of Word-formation

  • Prefixes modify the lexical meaning but rarely transfer a word into a different part of speech: hear (v) → overhear (v), fair (adj) → unfair (adj), president (n) → ex-president (n), etc.
  • Suffixes also modify the lexical meaning but not necessarily transfer a word into a different part of speech: king (n) → kingdom (n), book (n) → bookish (adj), rapid (adj) → rapidly (adv), etc.

Major Types of Word-formation

  • A derivational pattern is a regular meaningful arrangement, which imposes rigid rules on the order and the nature of the derivational base and affixes that may be brought together to create a new word.
  • Derivational patterns are also known as structural formulas. Here are some examples of derivational patterns: n + -sf → N (friend + ship), v + -sf → N (sing + er), etc.

Major Types of Word-formation

  • Conversion is the formation of a new word by putting a stem of the already existing word into a different paradigm ( fly (noun) – fly (verb)), thus, by changing the category of a part of speech without adding any derivative elements, so that the original and the converted words become homonyms.
  • E.g., the paradigm of the verb fly → fly, flies, flying, flew, flown,
  • the paradigm of the noun fly fly (sg) and flies (pl).

Major Types of Word-formation

  • Conversion is highly-productive and widely-spread among verbs and nouns. Converted words can sound extremely colloquial, e.g. I’ll microwave the chicken for you.
  • Conversion can be explained by the analytical character of the English language, deficit of inflections and abundance of monosyllabic and disyllabic words in different parts of speech.
