WORD FORMATION PROCESS

Word Formation Process How new words are being formed in the language The process consists of a combination of morphemes that are rule-governed (a new word is formed)

PROCESSES WHERE NEW WORDS ARE FORMED Major Word Formation Processes (Processes that are formed frequently or commonly in the use of the English language)

AFFIXATION sing er singer un real unreal Process of forming words by adding affixes to morphemes English uses only prefixes and suffixes sing + er = singer un + real unreal =

COMPOUNDING girl girlfriend friend = text + book = textbook + Process that forms new words from two or more independent words Examples of words formed by the compounding process: girl girlfriend + friend = text + book = textbook

REDUPLICATION Humpty dumpty hocus pocus Process of forming new words either by doubling an entire word (total reduplication) or part of a word (partial reduplication) English makes use of reduplication very sporadically Total reduplication is extremely rare! Humpty dumpty partial reduplication - hocus pocus -

SUPPLETION A relationship between forms of a word wherein one form cannot be phonologically or morphologically derived from the other (this process is rare). vs. am was go vs. went

MINOR WORD FORMATION PROCESSES (Occur less frequently in the English language)

Acronym Words that are formed from the initials of several words. RAM = Random Access Memory CD = Compact Disk

BLENDING Process of creating a new word by combining the parts of two different words, usually the beginning of one word and the end of another. motor hotel = motel + camera + recorder = camcorder
