Word Formation
In linguistics, the ways in which new words are made on the basis of other words or morphemes. Also called derivational morphology.
Word-formation can denote either a state or a process, and it can be viewed either diachronically or synchronically.

Diachronic linguistics
The study of a language through different periods in history.

Synchronic linguistics
The study of a language at one period in time (usually the present).
Diachronic linguistics and Synchronic linguistics are the two main temporal dimensions of language study introduced by Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure in Course in General Linguistics (1916).

compound adjective
Two or more words that act as a single idea to modify a noun Ex. a part-time employee
a high-speed chase As a general rule, the words in a compound adjective are hyphenated when they come before a noun but not when they come after

Also, compound adjectives formed with an adverb ending in -ly are usually not hyphenated.
Ex. rapidly changingviolently swirled

Derivation

Derivation
The process of creating a new word out of an old word, usually by adding a prefix or a suffix. Adjective:derivational. Linguist Geert Booij notes that one criterion for
distinguishing derivation and inflection "is that derivation may feed inflection, but not vice versa. Derivation applies to the stem-forms of words, without their inflectional endings, and creates new, more complex stems to which inflectional rules can be applied" (The Grammar of Words, 2005).
![Page 23: Wordformation 150629125548-lva1-app6891](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5888bd551a28ab200f8b4aab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Derivation
"Derivational morphology studies the principles governing the construction of new words, without reference to the specific grammatical role a word might play in a sentence. In the formation of drinkable from drink, or disinfect from infect, for example, we see the formation of new words, each with its own grammatical properties."
![Page 24: Wordformation 150629125548-lva1-app6891](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5888bd551a28ab200f8b4aab/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Derivation
Derivation versus InflectionMorphology may be divided into
derivation--rules that form a new word out of old words, like duckfeathers and unkissable, and
inflection --rules that modify a word to fit its role in a sentence, what language teachers call conjugation and declension."
![Page 25: Wordformation 150629125548-lva1-app6891](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5888bd551a28ab200f8b4aab/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Changes to Meaning and Word Class: Prefixes and Suffixes"Derivational prefixes do not normally alter the word class of the base word; that is, a prefix is added to a noun to form a new noun with a different meaning:
patient: outpatient group: subgroup trial: retrial
Derivational suffixes, on the other hand, usually change both the meaning and the word class; that is, a suffix is often added to a verb or adjective to form a new noun with a different meaning:
adjective--dark: darkness verb--agree: agreement noun--friend: friendship"

Etymology
Etymology is the scientific study of the origin of words. This etymological study improves your vocabulary. The strong vocabulary gives you a more challenging and rewarding job. greater self-confidence in speaking and in writing.
improved comprehension in all your reading. success in your studies.

Etymology
The etymology of a word refers to its origin and historical development: that is, its earliest known use, its transmission from one language to another, and its changes in form and meaning. Etymology is also the term for the branch of linguistics that studies word histories.

first-sister principle
In compounding, the principle that the "first sister" to the right of a verb is moved by transformation to the left of the verb. (The "first sister" is the position immediately adjacent to the verb.)
The first-sister principle (FSP) was proposed by Thomas Roeper and Muffy Siegel in "A Lexical Transformation for Verbal Compounds" (Linguistic Inquiry 9, 1978): "All verbal compounds are formed by incorporation of a word in first sister position of the verb.“
