 WHAT IS DERIVATION?

Derivation is a process where one word

changes into another by addition of an affix.
The derived word is often of a different words
class from the original. Bu some of them can
be in the same word class but its differ in
meaning.
 DERIVATIONAL AFFIXES

What are the Affixes?

Affixes are morphemes that can be added at the root of the
word to transform into a new word.
Types of common affixes can be divided into :
1. Prefix
Prefix is the morpheme that can be added in front of the word.

Un + Lucky = Unlucky
2. Suffix
Suffix is the morpheme that always added in the end of the
word.
Common + ly = Commonly

3. Infix
Infix is the affix that added in the middle of the word. But in
English Language, infix is rarely used. In morphology the
most commonly affix used is both of Prefix and Suffix.
 DERIVATIONAL AFFIXES
Derivational affixes are changing the
meaning and the grammar category of the
word
However several affixes only change the
meaning of the word but do not change
the grammar category from the word.
