beginning and the end of the word are clipped, e.g. tec (detective),
van (avanguard) etc.
Sometimes shortening influences the spelling of the word,
e.g. c” can be substituted by k” before “e to preserve
pronunciation, e.g. mike (microphone). Coke (coca-cola) etc. The
same rule is observed in the following cases: fax (facsimile), teck
(technical college), trank (tranquilizer) etc. The final consonants
in the shortened forms are substituted by letters characteristic of
native English words.
Questions:
1. What is a morpheme?
2. What two large groups morphemes are divided into?
3. What is the aim of derivational analysis?
4. What is a word-building?
5. What classifications of suffixes do you know?
6. What is a composition?
7. Give the definition of conversion.
8. What are two main types of shortening?

ready-made unit.
2. Affixation is:
