1. Lecture 5 Objectives To know processes of word formation.
To know inflectional &derivational paradigm

2. Processes of word formation
compounding derivation
invention echoism
clipping acronymy
blending

3. 1. Compounding is the joining of two or more words into a single word
1. Compounding is the joining of two or more words into a single word. Examples, breakfast, high school.
2. Derivation is forming of new words by combining derivational affixes or bound affixes with existing words as, in disadvise, re-ask.

4. 3. Invention: new words are totally invented e.g nylon
4. Echoism: is the formation of words whose sounds suggest their meanings, e.g. hiss

5. EX 10-1
Indicate which process of formation represented compounding, derivation, invention, echoism:
1. roughneck codgerhood.
3. clink doodad dacron

6. 5.Clipping is cutting off the beginning or the end of a word, or both, leaving a part to stand for the whole.

7. Give the original words from which these clipped words were formed:
EX 10-2
Give the original words from which these clipped words were formed:
1.ad taxi phil van bus pike
HOME WORK

8. 6.Acronymy is the process by which a word is formed from the initial or beginning.
EX 10-5
Ok,NOW,OPEC

9. 7.blending:
Is the fusion of two words into one. usually the first part of one word with the last of another, e.g telecast

10. Inflectional paradigms
Define : Is a set of related forms having the same stem but different affixes
Noun paradigm
Verb paradigms
Comparable paradigms

11. Noun paradigms Inflectional suffixes:models: stem: doctor,woman.
Plural:{s -pl}: doctors,women.
possessive{-s ps}: doctor’s, woman’s.
Plural possessive: {-s pl ps} doctors’, women’

12. EX 11-1 Write the pradigmatic forms of these nouns
Stem, plural, possessive, plural+ possessive.
The words:
-carpenter woman
-brother
Homework: 5-10

13. Verb paradigms Inflectional suffixes: models Stem: show
Present third-person sinular{S 3rd}: shows, rings.
present pariciple {ING vb}: showing,ringing.
{D pt}:showed,rang.
{D-pp}:showed,shown,rung.

14. Comparable paradigms
Inflectional suffixes: models
Stem{Er-cp}: sweeter
{EST sp}
Ex write the comparative and the superlative forms(two-syllable adjectives).

15. Ex 11-20 Write the comparative &superlative forms er, est
-angry healthy
-bitter common
-cruel foolish
