Suffixation

From Teflpedia
(Redirected from Suffix addition)

Suffix addition or suffixation is a form of derivation achieved through affixation of a suffix.

These include noun suffixes, verb suffixes, adjective suffixes or adverb suffixes.

For example, in English, the word homeless is formed by adding the suffix -less to home.

In English, suffixation is mainly used to change the word class to which the word belongs. Suffixes can only make limited changes to meaning.

Contrast prefixation.
