DERIVATIONAL MORPHOLOGY

Derivation means the formation of new words. This can be achieved through such morphological processes as affixation, compounding and abbreviations

Affixation is a productive morphological process in both English and Arabic

English derivational affixes are either prefixes or suffixes. Prefixes are bound morphemes that are attached at the beginning of a word, whereas suffixes are attached at the end of a word

In contrast, Arabic has not only suffixes and prefixes but also infixes, which are inserted within the word.

English Affixation (i) Prefixes English prefixes can be divided into two types on the basis of the effect prefixation has on the class of the word that receives the prefix: class maintaining prefixes and class-changing prefixes
