The document provides information on word formation strategies that are important for the FCE (First Certificate in English) exam. It covers forming verbs with prefixes and suffixes, making negatives with prefixes, turning verbs into nouns with suffixes like "-ion" and "-ance", forming nouns from verbs and adjectives with suffixes like "-ment" and "-ness", irregular noun formations, and adjectives with their noun and verb forms. The word formation section of the FCE exam tests knowledge of these patterns.
The document lists word formation patterns for many English verbs. It provides the noun, adjective, and adverb forms for each verb. The verbs are grouped alphabetically from A to R. For each verb, the related noun, adjective, and adverb are given, showing how different parts of speech are derived from the root verb through the addition of prefixes and suffixes. The document serves as a reference for English word formation patterns.
Stems serve both supportive and conductive functions for plants. They develop from the epicotyl of seeds and connect other plant organs like leaves, flowers, and fruit. Stems can be modified for storage, protection, or propagation. Some common modified stems include rootstocks, bulbs, corms, caudices, rhizomes, stolons, cladodes, and tubers. Rootstocks like bulbs, corms, and caudices remain underground during harsh conditions. Rhizomes are horizontal underground stems while tubers are thick underground storage stems lacking scales. Stolons are stems that propagate horizontally just below the soil surface.
The document discusses morphology and defines key terms related to morphological analysis. It can be summarized as follows:
1) Morphology is the study of the structure of words and the smallest units of meaning called morphemes.
2) There are two types of morphemes - free morphemes that can stand alone as words, and bound morphemes that need to be attached to other morphemes.
3) Affixes like prefixes and suffixes are examples of bound morphemes that can be added before or after root words to change the meaning.
The document discusses different types of morphemes and their functions in English word formation. It defines morphemes as the minimal units of meaning that combine to form words. There are different types of morphemes including bound morphemes (prefixes, suffixes), free morphemes, root morphemes, derivational morphemes, and inflectional morphemes. The document also discusses how words are formed by combining morphemes and provides examples to illustrate the different types of morpheme combinations.
The document discusses various processes of word formation in languages. It identifies 10 main processes: coinage, borrowing, compounding, blending, clipping, backformation, conversion, acronyms, affixation, and reduplication. Each process is explained with examples to illustrate how new words are created in a language through these different morphological processes.
The document discusses the history and development of chocolate over centuries. It details how chocolate originated from cacao beans used by the Olmecs and Mayans as currency and medicine. Later, the Aztecs and Europeans discovered chocolate and it became popularized as a drink among European nobility in the 16th century before mass production made it accessible to common people in the 19th century.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

The document discusses the history and development of a new technology called blockchain. Blockchain first emerged with bitcoin, using cryptography to allow transactions to be securely recorded and verified in a decentralized database. It has now expanded beyond cryptocurrencies to include applications in areas like finance, law, and government where there is need for a secure and decentralized record of transactions and information.
This document defines and categorizes different types of morphemes including roots, affixes, stems, and bases. It provides the following information:
1) A morpheme is the smallest meaningful linguistic unit that cannot be further divided. There are two main types: root morphemes which have individual lexical meanings, and affixational morphemes which carry grammatical meaning.
2) A root is the base form of a word that retains its identity when affixes are removed. A stem includes the root plus any derivational affixes to which inflectional affixes can be added.
3) Affixes are bound morphemes that can only be used in combination

E nglish油 a油
is West G ermanic language油 that originated from the油 nglo-Frisian油
A dialects
油brought to油 Britain油 G ermanic invaders油
by油 from various parts of what is now northwest油
G ermany油 and the油Netherlands. Initially,油Old E nglish油was a diverse group of dialects, reflecting
the varied origins of the油 nglo-Saxon油
A kingdoms of油 ngland. One of these dialects,油
E
L ate West Saxon, eventually came to dominate.
The E nglish language underwent extensive change in the油 Middle A ges. Written Old
E nglish of A D 1000 is similar in vocabulary and油 grammar油 other old Germanic languages
to
such as油 Old High G erman油 and油 Old Norse, and completely unintelligible to modern speakers,
while the modern language is already largely recognisable in written Middle E nglish of A D
1400. The transformation was caused by two further waves of invasion: the first by speakers of
the油Scandinavian branch油 the Germanic language family, who conquered and colonized
of
parts of Britain in the 8th and 9th centuries; the second by the油Normans in the 11th century,
who spoke油 Old Norman油 and ultimately developed an E nglish variety of this called油
A nglo-Norman. A large proportion of the modern E nglish vocabulary comes directly from
A nglo-Norman.
