                  In the above example the results of the morphemic analysis
            and the structural word-formation analysis practically coincide.
            There are other cases, however, they are of necessity separated.
            The morphemic analysis is, for instance, insufficient in showing
            the difference between the structure of inconvenience v and
            impatience n; it classifies both as derivatives. From the point of
            view of word-formation pattern, however, they are fundamentally
            different. It is only the second that is formed by derivation.
            Compare:
                  Impatience n/ impatient a=patience n/ patient a=corpulence
            n/corpulent a
                  The correlation that can be established for the verb
            inconvenience is different, namely:
                   Inconvenience v/ inconvenience n = pain v/ pain n=disgust
            v/disgust n=anger v/anger n=delight v/ delight n.
                  Here nouns denoting some feeling or state are correlated
            with verbs causing this feeling or state, there being no difference
            in stems between the members of each separate opposition.
            Whether different pairs in the correlation are structured similarly
            or differently is irrelevant. Some of them are simple root-words,
            others are derivatives; they might be compounds as well. In terms
            of word formation we state that the verb inconvenience when
            compared with the noun inconvenience shows relationships
            characteristic of the process of conversion. Cf. to position where
            the suffix – tion does not classify this word as an abstract noun
            but shows it is derived from one. This approach also affords a
            possibility to distinguish between compound words formed by
            composition and those formed by other processes. The words
            honeymoon n and honeymoon v are both compounds containing
            two free stems, yet the first is formed by composition: honey n +
            moon n = honeymoon n, and the second by conversion:
            honeymoon n > honeymoon v. The treatment remains synchronic
            because it is not the origin of the word that is established but its
            present correlations in the vocabulary and the patterns productive
            in present-day English.
