Abstract

        Abstract:  This article examines the phenomenon of conversion in the English 
language from a synchronic perspective. Conversion, also known as zero-derivation, is 
a productive word-formation process whereby a word shifts from one part of speech to 
another without any overt morphological change. The study focuses on the structural, 
semantic, and functional characteristics of conversion as it occurs in contemporary 
English.
