More DescriptionPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An affix is a morpheme that is attached to a word stem to form a new word. Affixes may be derivational, like English - ness and pre-, or inflectional, like English plural -s and past tense -ed. They are bound morphemes by definition; prefixes and suffixes may be separable affixes. Affixation is, thus, the linguistic process speakers use to form new words (neologisms) by adding morphemes (affixes) at the beginning (prefixation), the middle (infixation) or the end (suffixation) of words.
