In morphology, derivation is the process of creating a new word out of an old word, usually by adding a prefix or a suffix. The word comes from the Latin, "to draw off," and its adjectival form is derivational .
This chapter deals with several processes that allow language users to build new words, often called word formation processes in the literature, with special emphasis on processes that involve the grammatical make-up of words.
Derivational word forms based on the same root belong to the same word family, but each has their own, separate, inflectional paradigm. For example, the word family of scare includes the verb scare (5a), the adjective scary (5b), the noun scare (5c), and the adverb scarily (5d).
On this page we will discuss how words can be formed by the adding of derivational morphemes, that is, prefixes and suffixes. The Hierarchical Structure of Morphemes. The derivational morphemes discussed in 5.1 have specific rules governing how they may be added to words. Consider again the example unlucky.
Section 22.3 provides an overview of the literature on the rise of prefixes and suffixes in English and considers three examples: the development of prefix be , the rise of suffixes hood, dom, and ship, and the integration of French able into the English word-formation inventory.
Derivational morphology is a type of word formation that creates new lexemes, either by changing syntactic category or by adding substantial new meaning (or both) to a free or bound base. Derivation may be contrasted with inflection on the one hand or with compounding on the other.
