This book is a textbook on English grammar and word formation, intended for English language students, linguists, and learners seeking in-depth study of word formation. It introduces basic concepts of words and word formation, distinguishes between inflection and derivatives, and guides learners in analyzing compound words. The content delves into morphemes, morphological changes, word formation rules, and the phenomenon of attaching multiple affixes. The author further presents the generative nature of word formation and the relationship between compound words and vocabulary in the mind. The methods of word formation studied include affix derivatives, transposition, reduction, compound words, abbreviations, and derivative forms without affixes. The book also analyzes the structure of compound words, stress, the relationship between the central and dependent components, and discusses theoretical issues in constructing word formation models.
