Abstract. Derivation is the formation of lexemes by means of affixation, reduplication, conversion, or root-and-pattern morphology. The outputs of such processes often exhibit idiosyncratic properties.
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.
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.
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.
Derivation, in descriptive linguistics and traditional grammar, the formation of a word by changing the form of the base or by adding affixes to it (e.g., “hope” to “hopeful”). It is a major source of new words in a language.
