Conclusion
Affixation creates new English words by modifying or changing the meaning of a root word. One thing that students, teachers, materials writers, and researchers can all agree upon is that learning vocabulary is an essential part of mastering a (second) language. According to last researches, well over 80 percent of the total vocabulary of English is borrowed and most of its words can be used with affixation. Therefore, studying vocabulary with affix systems or patterns would seem to be much more effective language learners than just memorizing words. Furthermore, using affixation strategies has another benefit, which is that it helps learners naturally expand their knowledge of meaning or grammatical categories. Thus, teachers and learners of English should seriously consider using affixation-based instruction and learning of vocabulary. REFERENCES Suffixes. Types (classification) of suffixes.
