How do new words appear? - Progress moves tirelessly forward: economics, politics, technical and social spheres are constantly evolving, new phenomena and things appear, which leads to the appearance of new words in the language.
- In linguistics, such new words are called neologisms, i.e. «words or phrases that are included in the language in connection with the growth of culture and technology, development or changes in social relations and changes in the life and living conditions of people and are perceived as new ones» (Arnold I.V.).
- Structurally, English words appear to be divisible into smaller units which are called morphemes;
- Morphemes do not occur as free forms but only as constituents of words. Yet they possess meanings of their own;
- All morphemes are subdivided into two large classes: roots (or radicals) and affixes;
- Affixes, in their turn, fall into prefixes, which precede the root in the structure of the word (as in un-real, de-code, re-read) and suffixes, which follow the root (as in play-er, care-ful, child-ish).
- Words which consist of a root and an affix (or several affixes) are called derived words or derivatives.
