Description
There are several types of word formation in linguistics. They can be divided into morphological and syntactic-morphological types. The morphological type includes affixation; phrase or combination; shortening or truncating words; abbreviation; mixing; root formation and others. Sound and stress sharing, sound imitation, and repetition can be included in this class or classified as phonetic or morphophonemic types of individual word formation.
