4.2 Root, stem and affix
• A free root is one which can stand alone as a word such as help, care and walk. Nevertheless, there are some roots that can not stand alone but combine with other morphemes to form words, such as -ceive in receive and conceive, -mit in permit and submit, -tain in retain and maintain, and -cur in incur and occur. Elements like -ceive, -mit, -tain, and -cur are all roots, but they are meaningless independent of other morphemes,and such roots are called bound roots. Bound roots are limited in number as opposed to free roots, but they are useful to enrich our the vocabulary.

constitute a word by itself. E.g bed, tree, sing, dance
Bound morpheme
A bound morpheme is one that cannot appear alone. It may appear with at least one other morpheme.
e.g purify=pur(e)+ -ify
the rule: A verb can be formed by adding “-ify” to an adjective.
More examples:
amplify, simplify, falsify, intensify
2. Types of morphemes Free morpheme A free morpheme is one that may
e.g “tele-” in “telephone”, “television”, “telegraph”, “telescope”
Affixes: used only when added to another morphemes (the root).
Derivational affixes: affixes addபைடு நூலகம்d to other morphemes to create new words
e.g –ant assistant *helpants
inconsiderate *inhelpful
un- should be followed by positive roots
e.g unhappy *unsad
unkind

4.1.2Suffixation
Definition and its major feature Suffixation is the formation of new words by adding suffixes to stems. A suffix is a letter of a group of letters placed at the ending of a word to change its class or function. Suffixes can be classified into groups on a grammatical basis.
Table: the most productive suffixes to know Noun suffixes:-eer,-er,-ette,-let,-ster,-dom,-ery, -hood,ing,-ism,-ship, -ant,-al, -ance,-ation, -ence,-ment,-ity,ness,-ist, -ite,-an, -ese,-ure,or,-cy,-y Adjective suffixes:-ed,-ant,-ful,-ish,-less,-like,-ly,-y,-al,esque,-ic,-ous,-able,-ative,-ive,-ise Verb suffixes;-ate,-en,-ify,-ize,-ise Adverv suffixes:-ly,-ward(s),-wise

An example has been done for you.
Word
prefix
root
retell
re
tell
ex-wife

• Word-formation (2)
Some English words are made by changing the Part of Speech of a word you know. This is called Conversion (转化) .
常见的转化形式两种：
动词 --- 名词 名词 --- 动词
Observation 1
bus-driver = bus + driver
downtown = down + town
newspaper = news + paper
cowboy = cow + boy
• Can you find something in common? • Can you find out more similar
examples?
Conclusion
• Word-formation (1)
Some English words are made by joining two words together, sometimes with a hyphen “-” or two. This is called Compounding(合成).
见
non -nonsmoker (常用在n. adj. adv. 前)
的
in -inactive, inhuman, indirect (常用在adj.前)

dis - disagree, disappear
im - impolite, impossible

Definition and its major features New words are sometimes constructed by

4.1.1 Prefixation is the formation of new words by
adding prefixes to bases (stems).
1Prefixes which are negative: a-, dis-, in-, non-, un2Reversative (逆向)or privative: de-, dis-, un3Prjorative:mal-,mis-,pseudo4Of degree or size: arch- extra, hyper-,macro-,micro-
3kinds of word formation
Add, borrowing, imitation, coinage, invention
Shorting: abbreviation (clipping, blending, initialization), backformation
Know the major word-building processes used to create new words in English
Be acquainted with commonly used morphemes
Be able to use the word formation knowledge to improve vocabulary learning
Neither adding nor shorting: conversion
4.1 Affixation (Derivation)
Definition and its major features Means the formation of new words by adding
affixes to other words or morphemes. eg, disagreement is derived from the verb agree by the addition of the dis- and the noun-forming suffix –ment. Affixation falls into two subcategories: prefixationand suffixation

As we can know from the above list, many suffixes are polysemantic, they have more than one meaning.for example, the demorminal suffixes –er has varied meanings,1) something having x, glover 2)inhavitant of x, londoner 3)maker of x, wheeler
