MORPHOLOGY
  1. Mental system involved in the word formation
    1. First main part
      1. Derivation: Builds new words by adding morphemes to roots by affixation
        1. Prefixes: Go before the root
          1. eg. English prepositions and adverbials
          2. Suffixes: Go after the root

                1. Suffixes forming adjectives
                2. Infixes: Segmental strings that go in somewhere in the middle of the root
                  1. Circumfixes: Consists of a prefix and a suffix that apply to the root simultaneously
                  2. Compounding: The process of putting two words together to build a new one
                    1. Compound verbs
                      1. Compound adverbs

                                1. Appositival compounds
                                  1. Copulative compounds
                                2. Conversion: Derivational process whereby an item changes its word class without adding any affix
                                3. Unpredictable formations
                                  1. Clipping : Means cutting off the beginning or end of a word
