DERIVATIONAL MORPHOLOGY: ❖ Bound Morphemes like-ify and –cation are called derivational morphemes. When they are added to base‚ anew word with a new meaning is derived ❖ Example : The addition of –ify to pure= Purify means “to make pure” The addition of –cation to purify= Purification means “the process of making pure”. ❖ This means that we must have a list of the derivational morphemes in our mental dictionaries as well as the rules that determine how they are

Modern English is to form one part of speech from another; the secondary function is to change the lexical meaning of the same part of speech. The process of affixation consists in coining a new word by adding an affix or several affixes to some root morpheme. The role of the affix in this procedure is very important and therefore it is necessary to consider certain facts about the main types of affixes.

C H A P T E R I The ways in which new words are formed‚ and the factors which govern their acceptance into the language‚ are generally taken very much for granted by the average speaker. To understand a word‚ it is not necessary to know how it is constructed‚ whether it is simple or complex‚ that is‚ whether or not it can be broken down into two or more constituents. We are able to use a word which is new to us when we find out what object or notion it denotes. Some words‚ of course‚ are more

ho Introduction We are all intimately familiar with at least one language‚ our own. Yet few of us ever stop to consider what we know when we know a language. There is no book that contains the English or Russian or Macedonian language. The words of a language can be listed in a dictionary‚ but not all the sentences‚ and a language consists of these sentences as well as words. Speakers use a finite set of rules to produce and understand an infinite set of “possible” sentences. These
