In contrast to this type of derivation, primary derivation creates verbs from a pure base – neither nominal nor verbal – (Denominal Verbs).

Morphological Change

(3,432 words)

Author(s): Helena Maquieira
Abstract Morphological change is a type of language change that may affect the phonetic representation of, the meaning conveyed by or the usage rules of a given morpheme. Morphological change may be triggered by phonetic developments, psychological or sociolinguistic factors, etc. In fact, psychological factors like analogy are often considered to be the most important motivation for change at the morphological level. Morphological change is a type of variation in the grammatical component of the language that may affect the phonetic representation of th…
