选项
答案(1) Affixation, a major type of derivation, includes "prefixes" and "suffixes". A prefix is attached before a base (as in dislike and inexperienced) ; a suffix after a base (as in freedom and friendly). (2) A compound, the product of composition, "is a lexical unit consisting of more than one base and functioning both grammatically and semantically as a single word. "e. g. compound prepositions (into, onto) , compound conjunctions (whenever, whereas) and compound pronouns {anyone, somebody) . (3)Conversion, a very productive way of producing new words in English, is "the derivational process whereby an item is adapted or converted to a new word class without the addition of an affix." Verbs to nouns: answer, doubt; Nouns to verbs; elbow, hand; Adjectives to verbs: calm, dirty. (4) A blend is a new word formed from parts of two (or possibly more) other words. In some cases, however, blending may produce a compound of a word and part of another. For example: Part＋part: motel （motor＋hotel) Whole＋part: breathalyzer （breath＋analyzer) Part＋whole; Amerindian (American＋Indian)
