Description
Word formation constitutes a pivotal domain of linguistic morphology, focusing on the structural and semantic mechanisms that generate new lexical items. It illuminates how English, as a constantly evolving system, adapts to social, cultural, and technological developments. This study examines primary word-formation processes—affixation, compounding, clipping, and conversion—and their impact on vocabulary expansion and neologism creation. Findings reveal that compounding remains the most productive and versatile method, while affixation and conversion maintain steady activity. The research underscores that combining theoretical insights with practical analysis provides a deeper comprehension of the mechanisms sustaining continuous lexical growth in English.
