Hello guys!
I need to find examples for the following word-formations:
back-formation: Instead of forming new and longer items by adding affixes to words, this process works the other way round, as a shorter word is created by removing a real or imagined affix.
I already have: - televice - baby-sit
but I can't think of more, would be great If you would ![Wink [;)]](/emoticons/emotion-5.gif)
Blends: New words are created by joining party of other words.
- brunch - telex - smog - Eurovision
Also here I need more ![Sad [:(]](/emoticons/emotion-6.gif)
Neologisms: Creations of completely new words or phrases.
- Trojan Horse - Flatrate .....
Conversion: With the process words undergo a change of word class without the attachment of an affix.
- to bottle - to paper - a natural - to dirty - the how and the why ......??
Would be so great If you could help me ![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/emotion-1.gif)
