Document Summary
A phonological operation on the stem itself. Not affixation because this type of change is not an infix. This is inflexitional, does not change actual word, Mouth as a noun vs mouth as a verb (last consonant noise change) Not changed by added more consonants to the stem but the tem itself is changed to a different form. Word created by repeating either the whole stem or part of the stem. Billy runs 3 miles every day = run is a verb. Billy went for a run= run is a noun. It rains a lot in copenhagen= rains is a verb. This rain is good news for the farmer= rain is a noun. Mostly free morphemes and very few bound morphemes. Drivers would be conveyed by a compound with roughly the structure drive+ person. Practically no bound morphemes corresponding to english, -s, or -er. Words of great complexity consist of morphemes.
