Definition
of derivation
Is
the formation of a word from another word or base (as by the addition of a
usually no inflectional affix)"Strategize" was formed by derivation
from "strategy."
Morphological derivation,
in linguistics, is the process of forming a new word from an existing word,
often by adding a prefix or suffix, such as -ness or un-. For example,
happiness and unhappy derive from the root word happy.
It
is differentiated from inflection, which is the modification of a word to form
different grammatical categories without changing its core meaning: determines,
determining, and determined are from the root determine.The difference between influeximal
and delivation can be explain interms of
meaning, change of category, regularity of
meaning, productivity, position in the template, obligatoriness and relevance
to syntax.
Derivational patterns
Derivational
morphology often involves the addition of a derivational suffix or other affix.
Such an affix usually applies to words of one lexical category (part of speech)
and changes them into words of another such category. For example, the English
derivational suffix -ly changes adjectives into adverbs (slow → slowly).
Here
are examples of English derivational patterns and their suffixes:
Adjective-to-noun:
-ness (slow → slowness)
Adjective-to-verb:
-ise (modern → modernise) in British English or -ize (final → finalize) in
American English and Oxford spelling
Adjective-to-adjective:
-ish (red → reddish)
Adjective-to-adverb:
-ly (personal → personally)
Noun-to-adjective:
-al (recreation → recreational)
Noun-to-verb:
-fy (glory → glorify)
Inflectional morphemes do not create
separate words. They merely modify the word in which they occur in order to
indicate grammatical properties such as plurality, as the {-s} of magazines
does, or past tense, as the {ed} of
babecued does. English has eight inflectional morphemes, which we will
describe below.
We
can regard the root of a word as the morpheme left over when all the
derivational and inflectional morphemes have been removed. For example, in
immovability, {im-}, {-abil}, and {-ity} are all derivational morphemes, and
when we remove them we are left with {move}, which cannot be further divided
into meaningful pieces, and so must be the word’s root.
We
must distinguish between a word’s root and the forms to which affixes are
attached. In moveable, {-able} is attached to {move}, which we’ve determined is
the word’s root. However, {im-} is attached to moveable, not to {move} (there
is no word immove), but moveable is not a root. Expressions to which affixes
are attached are called bases. While roots may be bases, bases are not always
roots
The following are different between
influeximal and delivation
Derivational morphemes
are added to forms to create separate words: {‑er} is a derivational
suffix whose addition turns a verb into a noun, usually meaning the person or
thing that performs the action denoted by the verb. For example, {paint}+{-er}
creates painter, one of whose meanings is “someone who paints.
.Derivational affixes do not necessarily
alter the lexical category; they may
change merely the meaning of the base and leave the category unchanged.
A prefix (write → re-write; lord → over-lord)
rarely changes the lexical category in English. The prefix un- applies to
adjectives (healthy → unhealthy) and some verbs (do → undo) but rarely to
nouns. A few exceptions are the derivational prefixes en- and be-. En-
(replaced by em- before labials) is usually a transitive marker on verbs, but
it can also be applied to adjectives and nouns to form transitive verbs: circle
(verb) → encircle (verb) but rich (adj) → enrich (verb), large (adj) → enlarge
(verb), rapture (noun) → enrapture (verb), slave (noun) → enslave (verb).
Derivation occurs without any
change to the word, such as in the conversion of the noun
breakfast into the verb to breakfast, it's known as conversion, or zero
derivation.
Derivation that results in a noun
may be called nominalization. It may involve the use
of an affix (such as with employ → employee), or it may occur via conversion
(such as with the derivation of the noun run from the verb to run). In
contrast, a derivation resulting in a verb may be called verbalization (such as
from the noun butter to the verb to butter).
Derivation can be contrasted with
inflection, in that derivation produces a new word (a distinct
lexeme), whereas inflection produces grammatical variants of the same word.
Derivation
and other types of word formation
Derivation
can be contrasted with other types of word formation such as compounding. For
full details see Word formation.
Derivational
affixes are bound morphemes – they are meaningful units, but can only
normally occur when attached to another word. In that respect, derivation
differs from compounding by which free morphemes are combined (lawsuit, Latin
professor). It also differs from inflection in that inflection does not create
new lexemes but new word forms (table → tables; open → opened)
Inflection applies in more or less
regular patterns to all members of a part of speech
(for example, nearly every English verb adds -s for the third person singular
present tense), while derivation follows less consistent patterns (for example,
the nominal zing suffix -ity can be used with the adjectives modern and dense,
but not with open or strong). However, it is important to note that derivations
and inflections can share homonyms, that being, morphemes that have the same
sound, but not the same meaning. For example, when the affix -er, is added to
an adjective, as in small-er, it acts as an inflection, but when added to a
verb, as in cook-er, it acts as a derivation
Derivational
change that takes place without the addition of a bound morpheme (such as the
use of the noun impact as a verb) is called zero derivation or conversion.
Derivational morphology studies the
principles governing the construction of new words,
without reference to the specific grammatical role a word might play in a
sentence. In the formation of drinkable from drink, or disinfect from infect,
for example, we see the formation of new words, each with its own grammatical
properties.
Derivation versus Inflection
Morphology
may be divided into derivation--rules that form a new word out of old words,
like duckfeathers and unkissable--and inflection--rules that modify a word to
fit its role in a sentence, what language teachers call conjugation and
declension
"The
distinction between inflectional morphology and derivational morphology is an
ancient one. Fundamentally, it is a matter of the means used to create new
lexemes (derivational affixes among other processes) and those used to mark the
role of the lexeme in a particular sentence (accidence, inflectional
morphology). . . .
"It
seems that although we probably can maintain a distinction between inflectional
and derivational morphology relatively well in English--albeit with certain
problematical cases which do not invalidate the fundamental notion--the
distinction is not helpful to us in understanding any other aspects of the
morphology of English. The classification might be useful in terms of typology,
but does not throw much light on the behavior of English morphological
processes."(Laurie Bauer, Rochelle Lieber, and Ingo Plag, The Oxford
Reference Guide to English Morphology. Oxford University Press, 2013
Changes
to Meaning and Word Class: Prefixes and Suffixes
"Derivational
prefixes do not normally alter the word class of the base word; that is, a
prefix is added to a noun to form a new noun with a different meaning:
Derivational suffixes, on the other
hand, usually change both the meaning and the word class;
that is, a suffix is often added to a verb or adjective to form a new noun with
a different meaning: patient
trial:
retrial
noun--friend:
friendship"

Written English.(Longman, 2002)
