What is the difference between derivation and inflection




















Affixes which do not change the part of speech of the base are usually though not invariably inflectional. So form is a noun, formal is an adjective; - al has changed the part of speech; it is thus a derviational affix. Formal is an adjective, formalise is a verb; - ise has changed the part of speech; it is a derviational suffix.

Formalise is a verb, formalises is still a verb; -'s' has not changed the part of speech; -'s' is likely to be an inflection affix. Note, however, that while all prefixes in English are derivational, very few of them change the part of speech of the base. Derivational affixes may have irregular meaning. If we consider an inflectional affix like the plural ' s in word-forms like bicycles , dogs , shoes , tins , trees , and so on, the difference in meaning between the base and the affixed form is always the same: 'more than one'.

If, however, we consider the change in meaning caused by a derivational affix like 'age in words like bandage , cleavage , [ That is, inflectional affixes are fully productive , while derivational affixes are not. For example, you can add - s to any non-modal verb in English to make the 'third person singular of the present indicative', but you cannot add -ation to any non-modal verb to make a noun.

Such suffixes which we do not allow further affixation are called inflections or inflectional suffixes. The suffixes which may be followed by other suffixes are called derivational suffixes. For example:. We can say:. So, an inflectional suffix is essentially terminal whereas a derivational suffix is not essentially terminal. Derivational suffixes can occur medially and finally but inflectional suffixes occur only finally. Class —maintaining and class-changing derivational suffixes.

Derivational suffixes can be sub-classified into two types:. The classes maintaining derivational suffixes are those which produce a derived form of the same class as the underling form, they do not change the class of a part speech.
