MAIN PRINCIPLES OF CLASSIFICATION OF AFFIXES
Abstract
Introduction
Affixation, as a central morphological process in language, plays a pivotal role
in word formation. The classification of affixes is essential for understanding the
structure of words and the dynamics of linguistic productivity. Linguists have proposed
several principles for categorizing affixes based on their form, function, position, and
origin. This article seeks to explore the main principles of affix classification through
both traditional and modern linguistic perspectives.
