This word formation process comprises the use
of two or more base forms to generate a new
word.
The text above refers to a specific type of word
formation process available in English. Which
one?
Suffixation
Prefixation
Affixation
Conversion
Compounding
Resposta correta
Parabéns, você selecionou a
alternativa correta. Confira o
gabarito comentado!
Gabarito Comentado
Compounding combines more than one
base form to create new words.
Conversion, on the other hand, refers to
derivation without affixation and affixation
is the process of creating new words via
derivational morphemes. Affixes placed
before stems are classified as prefixes and
the ones used after stems are called
suffixes. Consequently, the operation of
inserting a prefix in a base word is called
prefixation and the use of a suffix in a base
word is called suffixation
