2. Definition
Morphology is the study of words, how they are
formed, and their relationship to other words in the
same language.
Stem
Root
prefixes
suffixesAnalyzing
Parts of speech
Intonation and stress

3. Morphological Process and Word Formation
Morphological processes serve different functions. Some
occur to alter meaning and/or part of speech (derivational), others
show grammatical relationships between words.
Word formation is the creation of a new word. It’s a process
of forming words by combining root and affixal morphemes.

Blending
Backformation Acronym
CoinageCompounding
Clipping

5. Compounding
Is the process of putting words together to build a new one that ''does not denote two
things, but one'' and that is ''pronounced as one unit”.
What are the properties of compounds?
Compounds consist of:
– a head
– a modifier
e.g:
handbag=hand + bag;
wallpaper=wall + paper;
tear up= tear= up
take away= take= away

6. Compound words may take three form;
Compound words
open
closed
Hyphenate

7.  Open Compounds: Compounds written as separate words.
e.g : end zone, high school, wear away
 Closed Compounds: Compounds written as single words.
e.g : newspaper, goldfish, highway.
 Hyphenated Compounds: Compounds that are
hyphenated.
e.g : mother-in-law, second-rate, water-proof

9. Blending
A blending is a combination of two or more words to create a
new one, usually by taking the beginning of the other word and the
end of the other one
Ex:
transistor = transfer + resistor
emoticon = emotion + icon
webinar = web+ seminar
netizen = internet+ citizen

10. Blending
Breakfast + lunch= brunch
Motor + Hotel= Motel
Spoon + Fork
Smoke + Fog= Smog

11. Back Formation
A complex word exists first, the non-affixed form is derived later, a
process in which a word changes its forms and function
Typically, a word of one type, which is usually a noun, is reduced to form a
word of another type,usually a verb. --nouns > verbs: reduction of nouns
to form verb
e.g.
– – to baby-sit from baby-sitter
– – to edit from editor
– – to laze from lazy
– – to enthuse from enthusiasm
e.g
television (N)  televise (V)
donation (N)  donate (V)

12. Acronym
• are created by using the initial letters of a longer name or term which
consists of several words
– • the new form is pronounced as a word (not just letters, then it‘s a
simple abbreviation)
– word from initials of a set of words
• e.g.
– NATO
– NAFTA
– RADAR -Radio Detection And Ranging
– LASER –Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
– PIN-Personal Identification Number

13. Acronym
United States of America
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
Radio Detection and Ranging
Light Amplification by
Stimulated
Emission of Radiation

14. Clipping
Clipping a synonym of reduction. In this process a word that has more
than one syllable is reduced to a shorter form, usually the first or stressed syllables
are taken
– Types: back clipping, fore-clipping, middle and complex clipping
– Ex: facsimile = fax
fanatic = fan
telephone= phone
gasoline = gas
influenza = flu
cable telegram= cablegram
gym, lab, exam, math, prof.

15. Coinage
Coinage is the invention of totally new terms. Often a brand
name becomes the name for the item or process associated with
the brand name
Example :
– Google
– hoover
– Kleenex
– Yahoo
– Gmail etc.
