CLASS-CHANGING DERIVATIONAL AFFIXES
Abstract
Morphology is the study of a word’s grammatical constituents. The many different methods that English words are formed, including borrowing from Latin and Greek, clipping, suppletion, affixation, conversion, acronym, blending, compounding, and more, have been documented by linguists. The goal of this study is to examine the process of word formation known as affixation, specifically class-changing derivational affixation. We will examine the meanings of some of the few letters added to the beginning or end of words as well as the changes that occur when affixes are inserted into words.This study aims to examine how different affixes are added to the beginning or end of a root or root word to create new words, as well as how those affixes alter the root word’s classification. A list of English prefixes and suffixes that change the class are provided, and they are explained and studied with various examples. The derivation of words from one grammatical class to another is observed in this study. For example, verbs are converted into nouns and adjectives, nouns are converted into adjectives and verbs, and so on.
Keywords: Prefixes, Suffixes, Derivational, Word, Conversion, etc.
