Morphological derivation, in linguistics, is the process of forming a new word from an existing word, often by adding a prefix or suffix, such as un-or -ness. For example, unhappy and happiness derive from the root word happy. It is differentiated from inflection, which is the modification of a word to form different grammatical categories without changing its core …

Derivational and relational morphology represent opposite ends of a spectrum; that is, a single word in a given language may exhibit varying degrees of both of them simultaneously. Similarly, some words may have derivational morphology while others have relational morphology. Some linguists, however, consider relational morphology to be a type ...

Derivational morphology is a process by which a grammatical expression is turned into a noun phrase. For example, in the sentence "Combine the two chemicals," combine acts as a verb. This can be turned into a noun via the addition of the suffix -ation , as in "The experiment involved the combination of the two chemicals."

In linguistics, morphology (/ m ɔːr ˈ f ɒ l ə dʒ i /) is the study of words, how they are formed, and their relationship to other words in the same language. It analyzes the structure of words and parts of words such as stems, root words, prefixes, and suffixes.Morphology also looks at parts of speech, intonation and stress, and the ways context can change a word's pronunciation and …

In linguistics, agglutination is a morphological process in which words are formed by stringing together morphemes, each of which corresponds to a single syntactic feature. Languages that use agglutination widely are called agglutinative languages. Turkish is an example of an agglutinative language. The Turkish word evlerinizden ("from your houses") consists of the morphemes ev …

A morpheme is the smallest meaningful constituent of a linguistic expression. The field of linguistic study dedicated to morphemes is called morphology.. In English, morphemes are often but not necessarily words.Morphemes that stand alone are considered roots (such as the morpheme cat); other morphemes, called affixes, are found only in combination with other …

A lexeme (/ ˈ l ɛ k s iː m / ()) is a unit of lexical meaning that underlies a set of words that are related through inflection.It is a basic abstract unit of meaning, a unit of morphological analysis in linguistics that roughly corresponds to a set of forms taken by a single root word.For example, in English, run, runs, ran and running are forms of the same lexeme, which can be represented ...

In linguistics, conjugation (/ ˌ k ɒ n dʒ ʊ ˈ ɡ eɪ ʃ ən /) is the creation of derived forms of a verb from its principal parts by inflection (alteration of form according to rules of grammar).For instance, the verb break can be conjugated to form the words break, breaks, broke, broken and breaking.While English has a relatively simple conjugation, other languages such as French and ...

To some authors, the term includes both inflectional and derivational morphology. Tian described a grammatical tone, the induced creaky tone, in Burmese. Number of tones. Languages may distinguish up to five levels of pitch, though the Chori language of Nigeria is described as distinguishing six surface tone registers. Since tone contours may ...
