- 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.
