Most languages, but especially agglutinating and inflexional ones,
differentiate between the stem of the word, which carries the
basic meaning, and various affixes or attachments that carry
additional, often grammatical, meanings. There are several kinds of
affixes:
|
A | noun, adjective, verb, or adverb. | |
| 2 |
Suffixes
(word-endings) come at the end of a word. They show whether the word is
a verb, noun, adjective, or adverb. Learning these word-endings can help
you recognize a

| 4 | An English word can consist of three parts: | D | Adding a suffix to a word with two or more syllables: | |
| 5 | Words of one syllable that end in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel double the final consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel: | E | Adding a suffix to a word ending in c: | |
| 6 |
Words of two or more syllables that have the accent on the last syllable
and end in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel double the
final consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel: admit,
admitted; confer, conferring; control, controller; regret, regrettable.

Words ending with a silent e generally retain the e before
a suffix that begins with a consonant: plate, plateful; shoe,
shoeless; arrange, arrangement; white, whiteness; awe, awesome; nice,
nicety.
|
H | bag, baggage; hop, hopper; hot, hottest; red, redder; run, running; stop, stopped. | |
| 9 | Words ending in c almost always have the letter k inserted after the c when a suffix beginning with e, i, or y is added: panic, panicky; picnic, picnicker. This is done so that the letter c will not be pronounced like s. | I | How do we in fact use the word 'suffix'? | |
| 10 |
.... and English uses them. For example, the past tense of most verbs
is a matter of adding -ed to the stem; the present participle is
made by adding -ing; the plural of a noun is made by adding
-s.

J | Suffixes | |

We call something a 'suffix' if it appears after the last root of a word, and if we are conscious of what referent it carries. We call the '-er' in 'player' a suffix, because we know consciously that it refers to 'a person who...'. The longer the string is, the more arbitrary its reference tends to be, and the more language-dependent it tends to be. That is, the strength and energy and reinforcing qualities of the consonant /s/ are quite common in languages all over the word, but the use of 'strangle' to refer to a violent action is much more narrowly limited to English.

Dinámicas Completación:
1.- A prefix is a word element attached to that alters its meaning.
2.- Adding _____________ can also create new words
3.- ___________________________ is an area of linguistics that has to do with patterns and structures within particular words. (This is in contrast to syntax, which defines the patterns and relationships that take place between words.) For example, the difference between the words "happy," "happily," "unhappy," "happiest," "happiness," and "unhappiness," is their morphology, or structure.
4.- Many English words are made up of three parts:_________________, a prefix, and a suffix
5.- Since English language is built up upon words like roots, prefixes, and suffixes, knowing _______________can help learners with more ______________, Students can guess the meaning of the unknown words which onece they have not heard at all. Students will have more built up vocabulary.
6.- A prefix is a particle that is added at the beginning of a word (base) to make a new word. ____________________________________ of the base but not the word class. (Exception: the prefix en-, or em-, which forms verbs). In general prefixes are ___________________ than suffixes since their meaning is more definite
7.-Another prefix often found in English words is ___________________________. It is used both with ___________________.
8.-They are all derived from the same root word, but given different twists through the various ______________________ which have been added to ___________.
9.-The prefix-suffixes u-o, u-ur and u-ul (dissimilation of the u-ur in words with r consonant in the root) indicate the ____________________________. (antonyms of the suffix ian). These prefix-suffixes also transform nouns into adjectives.
10.- Suffix ier
indicates ____________________________________. Some examples:
ghone (power)-ghonieri (powerfull), goni (sense)-gonieri (intelligent,
sensible), ts'esi (order, rule)-ts'esieri (orderly), k'anoni (law, rule)-k'anonieri
(legitimate), dzala (strength)-dzlieri (strong).
11.-A ______________ is a part of a word. It contains the core meaning of the word, but it cannot stand alone. A prefix is also a ______________________________. It is placed at the beginning of a word to change its meaning.
12.-A suffix is a word part that is placed at the end of a word to change its meaning. Often you can guess the meaning of an unfamiliar word if ___________________________; that is, the root and any prefixes or suffixes that are ______________.
13.- Prefixes and suffixes were originally words themselves but ____________________________________ new words. Prefixes [pre (before) + fix (fasten) = fasten before] are groups of letters placed before words or roots. Prefixes modify or extend the meanings of words and roots.
