affix - (Af)  A bound morpheme that modifies the meaning and/or syntactic (sub)category of the stem in some way.  (e.g., un- and -able in unreadable).

allomorphs - Variants of a morpheme (e.g. [-s], [-z], and [-(the upside down e )z] are allomorphs of the English plural morpheme).

backformation - A word formation process that creates a new word by removing a real or supposed affix from another word in the language  (e.g., edit came from editor through the removal of -or).

base -  The form to which an affix is added (e.g., book is the base for the affix -s in books, modernize is the base for the affix -ed in modernized).

blends -  A word that is created from parts of two already existing items (e.g., brunch from breakfast and lunch).

bound morpheme -  A morpheme that must be attached to another element (e.g., the past tense marker -ed).

clipping -  A word formation that shortens a polysyllabic word by deleting one or more syllables (e.g., prof from professor).

cliticization -  The process by which a clitic (a word that is unable to stand alone as an independent form for phonological reasons) is attached to a word.

complex words -  A word that contains two or more morphemes (e.g., theorize, unemployment).

compounding -  The combination of lexical categories (N, V, A, or P) to form a larger word (e.g., fire + engine = firengine).

conversion (zero derivation) -  A word formation process that assigns an already existing word to a new syntactic category  (e.g., nurse - V, nurse - N).

derivation -  (a) In morphology, a word formation by which a new word is built from a stem, usually through the addition of an affix, that changes the word class and/or basic meaning of the word.  (b) The set of steps or rule applications that results in the formation of a sentence in syntax and of a phonetic representation from an underlying form in phonology.

free morpheme -  A morpheme that can be a word by itself (e.g., fear).

inflection -  The modification of a word's form to indicate the grammatical subclass to which it belongs (e.g., the -s in books marks the plural subclass).

internal change -  A process that substitutes one non morphemic segment for another to mark a grammatical contrast (e.g., sing, sang, sung).

lexicon -  A speaker's mental dictionary, which contains information about the syntactic properties, meaning, and phonological representation of a language's words.

morph -  A meaningful sequence of sounds that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful component parts.  Morphs that have the same meaning and are in complementary distribution are members of the same morpheme (e.g., the English plural morpheme includes a number of morphs, including /z/, /s/)

morpheme -  The smallest unit of language that carries information about meaning or function  (e.g., books consists of two morphemes book + s).

morphology -  The system of categories and rules involved in word formation and interpretation.

onomatopoeia -  Words that have been created to sound like the thing that they name (e.g., hiss, buzz).

reduplication -  A morphological process that repeats all or part of the base to which it is attached.

simple words -  A word that consists of a single morpheme (e.g., horse).

suppletion -  A morphological process that marks a grammatical contrast by replacing a morpheme with an entirely different morpheme (e.g., be/was).

tree structures -  A diagram that represents the internal organization of a word, phrase, or sentence.

word -  A minimal free form.

zero derivation (conversion) -  A word formation process that assigns an already existing word to a new syntactic category.  (e.g., nurse - V, nurse - N)
