- “Thank you, students for actively

participating in this activity.”

- “Now, what can you say or based on our

activity, what do you think is our lesson - (Students’ answers may vary)
for today? Anyone?”
C. Discussion
- “Very good!!! Our topic for today is about
Word Formation Processes.”

- “And there are many types of word

formation processes but today we will be
focusing only on 3 types of it which are
the; Affixation, Blending, and
Compounding.”

- “To formally start our discussion, let us

first define the meaning of word formation
process.”

- “Who can read the meaning of it?” - “Student will read the meaning on
slide presentation.”

• Word Formation Process

- Word Formation Process (also called
Morphological Process) is a means by
which new words are produced either by
modification of existing words or by
complete innovation, which in turn
become a part of the language
- This is how new words are being formed
in the language.
- It has a significant role in expanding the
vocabulary that helps us communicate
very smoothly.
- The main objectives of the word-formation
process are to form new words with the
same root by deploying different rules or
processes.

- “As I’ve said earlier, there are many types

of Word Formation Processes and we will
be focusing on Affixation, Blending, and
Compounding.”
- “Let us start now with affixation, so what
is the meaning of affixation?”

• Affixation
- It is a word formation process wherein an
affix is attached to a root to form a new
word.
- A root is a free morpheme that can
appear alone.
- An affix is a set of letters added to the
beginning or end of a word to form a new
word with a different meaning. It is a
bound morpheme which never occurs by
itself, but is always attached to some free
morpheme and can be either inflectional
or derivational.

- Inflectional morphemes change what a

word does in terms of grammar, but does
not create a new word.
Example: The word “skip” has many
forms:
Skip (base form)
Skipping (present progressive)
Skipped (past tense)

- Derivational morphemes, when combined

with a root, change the semantic meaning
or the part of speech of the affected word.
Example: in the word happiness, the
addition of the bound morpheme -ness to
the root happy changes the word from an
adjective (happy) to a noun (happiness).

“There are 2 common types of affixes; the

prefix and suffix.”

“Let us first discuss the prefix.”

• Prefix
- A prefix is a word part added to the
beginning of a word that changes the
word's meaning.
- Letters + Word = Prefix

“Now let us have some examples of

prefixes.”
- Prefixes:

• un = not
- unhappy = not happy
- unusual = not usual or not common
- unreal = not real

• in = not
- incomplete = not complete
- incorrect = not correct
- inadequate = not adequate or not enough

• im = not
- impossible = not possible
- improper = not proper or not appropriate
- imperfect = not perfect

• dis = opposite of / not

- disappear = not appear
- disagree = not agree
- dissimilar = not similar

• mis = wrong/ly
- misspell = spell wrongly
- misuse = use in the wrong way
- misplace = put in the wrong place

• re = again
- rebuild = build again
- rewrite = write again
- replay = play again

“Did you understand the prefixes?” - “Yes, Ma’am”

“Okay, let us see if you really understand
the prefixes.”

“Let’s see if you can identify the correct

prefix to use to complete each sentence.”

- “Very good!!, now let us have the suffix.”

• Suffix
- A suffix is a letter or group of letters which
is added to the end of the word in order to
form a different word.
- Word + Letters = Suffix

“Now, let us have some examples of

suffixes”
- Suffixes

• Er = one who performs an action.

- Teacher – someone who teaches.
- Painter – someone who paints.
- Singer – someone who sings well.

• Ness = state of being.

- Sadness – the state of being sad.
- Darkness – the state of being dark.
- Kindness – the state of being kind.

• Ous = full of
- Dangerous – full of danger.
- Courageous – full of courage.
- Glamorous – full of glamor.

• Ful = full of
- Powerful – full of power
- Joyful – full of joy
- Fearful – full of fear

• Less = without
- Odorless – without odor
- Sleepless – without sleep
- Tasteless – without taste

• Able = capable of being

- Readable – capable of being read.
- Measurable – capable of being measured.
- Observable – capable of being observed.

“Did you understand the suffixes?” - “Yes, Ma’am!”

“Okay, let us have this short activity if you

really understand it.’’

each word.”

- “Very good, students!!” That is the

affixation. Now, let us proceed to the next
word formation process which is Blending.

• Blending
- Blending is a type of word formation in
which two or more words are merged into
one so that the blended constituents are
either clipped, or partially overlap.

- “There are different ways in creating word

blends.”
 1. Combine portions of two other words to
make a new one.
Example: Camcorder (camera + recorder)

2. Joining a full word with a portion of

another word.
Example: Motorcade (motor + cavalcade)

3. Overlapping or combining phonemes,

which are parts of two words that sound
alike.
Example: Spanglish (Spanish + English)

4. Blends can also be formed through

omission of phonemes.
Example: Eurasia (Europe + Asia)

- “Now let us have these words”

1. Breakfast and Lunch Answers:

2. Binary and Digit 1. Brunch
3. Education and Entertainment 2. Bit
4. Emotion and Icon 3. Edutainment
5. Smoke and Fog 4. Emoticon
5. Smog
- “That would be all for blending and now
let us move on to the next word formation
process which is the compounding.”

• Compounding
- In English grammar, compounding is the
process of combining two words (free
morphemes) to create a new word
(commonly a noun, verb, or adjective).
Also called composition, it is from the
Latin for "put together".
- Compounding is the most common type
of word-formation in English.

- For example, if I take the free morpheme

green, an adjective, and combine it with
the free morpheme house, a noun, I get
the new word greenhouse.
 - Compound words may be written as one
word or as two words joined with a
hyphen.

- “Here are some examples on how we can

compound words.”
- “It depends on the parts of speech.”

• noun – noun compound

- note + book = notebook

• adjective – noun compound

- blue + berry = blueberry

• verb – noun compound

- work + room = workroom

• noun – verb compound

- breast + feed = breastfeed

• verb – verb compound

- stir + fry = stir-fry

• adjective – verb compound

- high + light = highlight

• verb + preposition compound

- break + up = breakup

• preposition + verb compound

- out + run = outrun

• adjective + adjective compound

- bitter + sweet = bittersweet

• preposition + preposition compound

- in + to = into

➢ Compounds may take three forms:

- Open compound – written in two words

or separately.
Example: living room, full moon, coffee mug
 - Hyphenated compound – combined with
hyphen.
Example: runner-up, left-handed, well-being

- Closed compound – have no space

between words. Written as on word.
Example: camp + fire = campfire,
earth + worm = earthworm
snow + ball = snowball

- “So, that is for compounding”

- “Let us try it out”

➢ Form a compound from these words:

Store house light boy Answers:
Pan room cake street Pancake
Lighthouse
Street boy
Storeroom
