This document discusses various processes of word formation in morphology. It begins by introducing morphology and its focus on words and word formation. It then describes several word formation processes in detail, including coinage, borrowing, compounding, clipping, backformation, blending, conversion, acronyms, derivation, echoism/onomatopoeia, folk etymology, reduplication, and examples of multiple processes. The document provides definitions and examples for each word formation process.
This slide explains Inflectional morphology which is the study of the processes (such as affixation and vowel change) that distinguish the forms of words in certain grammatical categories.

English phonetics redouane boulguid ensa_safi_moroccoRednef68 Rednef68
This course on Phonology/Phonetics is prepared for students of engineering and conception of information systems [Professional B.A.] at National School of Applied Sciences, Safi - School-Year 2014/2015 . References wil be included in the next part [final] of the course.
Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time. By extension, the term "the etymology of [a word]" means the origin of the particular word.
Phonetic Difficulty Index (PDI) is an algorithm phonetically transcribing orthographic text and tagging it with sixty-one expected pronunciation error tags: phonemic, graphophonemic, allophonic, morphological, accentual, sandhi, etc. The resulting resource can be used for learning, teaching, testing, materials preparation, textbook evaluation, dictionary compilation, syllabus design and in many other capacities in EFL pronunciation pedagogy. In this presentation we show examples of how PDI can be used in (i) phonolapsologically analyzing and evaluating graded readers (Reading A-Z) targeting native American children, but adaptable for EFL, (ii) providing well-defined resources to help meet IFA pronunciation syllabus goals, such as "the student should know the phonemic shape of words within a basic English vocabulary, including word stress"
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

◦ Bagasi (baggage)
◦ Others
English also borrowed from Bahasa Melayu
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 10
11. COMPOUNDING
Compounding is the joining of two separate words to
produce a single word.
Examples:
◦ brainwash
◦ bookworm
◦ busybody
◦ Facebook
◦ fingerprint
◦ loanword
◦ seasick
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 11
12. CALQUING
Calquing is the word formation process in which a borrowed word or phrase is
translated from one language to another.
For example, the following common English words are calqued from foreign
languages:
◦ beer garden – German – Biergarten
◦ blue-blood – Spanish – sangre azul
◦ commonplace – Latin – locus commūnis
◦ flea market – French – marché aux puces
◦ free verse – French – vers libre
◦ loanword – German – Lehnwort
◦ long time no see – Chinese – hǎo jiǔ bu jiàn
◦ pineapple – Dutch – pijnappel
◦ scapegoat – Hebrew – ez ozel
◦ wisdom tooth – Latin – dēns sapientiae
Calques are also referred to as root-for-root or word-for-word translations
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 12
13. CLIPPING
When a word of more than one syllable is reduced to a shorter form,
the process is called clipping.
Examples:
◦ advertisement → ad
◦ telephone → phone
◦ influenza → flu
◦ congratulations – congrats (not congrate hokay!)
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 13
14. BACKFORMATION
Backformation is the process of shortening a long word by cutting off an
affix to form a new word. The new word has a different part of speech
from the original word.
Examples:
televise ← television
donate ← donation
babysit ← babysitter
backform ← backformation
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 14
15. BLENDING
Blending is typically accomplished by combining the initial
part of one word and the last part of another word.
Examples:

◦ edutainment (education + entertainment)
◦ emoticon (emotion + icon)
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 15
16. CONVERSION
Conversion refers to the process of changing or converting the class of a
word without changing its form.
Assigns an existing word to a different word class (part of speech)
or syntactic category
The word email, for instance, can be used as a verb in Modern English
though it was only a noun in the past.
◦ butter (N) - V to butter the bread
◦ permit (V) - N an entry permit
◦ empty (A) - V to empty the litter-bin
◦ must (V) - N doing the homework is a must
◦ Microwave (N) - V microwave the curry

Examples:
◦ NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization)
◦ UNICEF (The United Nations Children’s Fund)
◦ SCUBA
◦ CD
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 18
19. DERIVATION
Derivation is also known as affixation.
New words are created by adding affixes to an existing word.
The most common word formation process.
Affixes
Examples:
◦ happy - unhappy, happiness
◦ arrange - rearrange
prefixes vs. suffixes
infixes inside the word
Tell them I’ve gone to Singabloodypore!
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 19
20. DERIVATIONS
Root and Affixes
Affixation is the most common word formation process in English.
Words are formed by adding affixes to roots.
Roots can be free or bound morphemes.
They cannot be further analyzed into smaller parts. They form the base
forms of the words.
Free roots are free morphemes. They can stand alone to function as
words.Examples:
recollect, bilingual, uneasy, mislead, hardly, attractive
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 20
21. DERIVATIONS
Bound roots are bound morphemes.
They cannot stand alone to function as words because they are no longer
used in Modern English.Examples:
receive, reduce
Affixes are bound morphemes. They can be classified into prefixes and
suffixes in English.
A prefix is an affix added to the beginning of other morphemes to form a
word.Examples:
dislike, deactivate, inadequate, immobile, misleading, unaccountable
endurable, underachieve, overdeveloped, prerequisite, postgraduate, recy
cle
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 21
23. FOLK ETYMOLOGY
Folk Etymology refers to the changing of a word or a phrase over time
which results from the replacement of an unfamiliar form by a more
familiar one.
Example:
“Bryd-guman” from Old English was changed to bridegroom as the Old
English word guma (man) was obsolete.
In OE, the word for “island” was iegland or igand which ordinarily would
have become iland in modern English. But then the word isle came into
English from Old French which got it from Latin insula.
4/24/2017 TSL426 MORPHOLOGY 23
24. REDUPLICATION
Reduplication is the formation of a new word
by doubling a word:
either with change of initial consonants
◦teenie-weenie, walkie-talkie
with change of vowel
◦(chit-chat, zig-zag) or without change
(night-night, so-so and win-win).
