Document Summary

Chapter 1 terminations notes: combining forms. Three types of word terminations are regularly used: Inflectional endings ex. child"s, child-ren, child-ren"s) Primary suffixes, which cannot stand alone as words and which usually cannot be divided into smaller (cid:373)ea(cid:374)i(cid:374)gful pa(cid:396)ts, i(cid:374)di(cid:272)ate (cid:449)hethe(cid:396) a (cid:449)o(cid:396)d is a (cid:374)ou(cid:374) (cid:894)(cid:862)(cid:272)hildhood(cid:863)(cid:895), a(cid:374) adje(cid:272)ti(cid:448)e (cid:894)(cid:862)(cid:272)hildish(cid:863)(cid:895), o(cid:396) a (cid:448)e(cid:396)(cid:271). Verbs: in medical terminology, there is only one frequently used verb ending, x-iz/e to do the action of x or to make something x (ex. sympathize, finalize) Nouns: virtually all other word terminations indicate that a word is a noun. These are -e (example), -is (crisis), -ism (humanism), -s (physics), and -y (geography). Some of the elmetns in compound suffixes may themselves be primary suffixes. Derived suffixes denoting nouns may be either abstract indicating that a process of some kind is i(cid:374)(cid:448)ol(cid:448)ed (cid:894)(cid:862)(cid:373)i(cid:272)(cid:396)os(cid:272)op(cid:455)(cid:863)(cid:895) o(cid:396) (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:272)(cid:396)ete, de(cid:374)oti(cid:374)g a(cid:374) o(cid:271)je(cid:272)t (cid:894)(cid:862)(cid:373)i(cid:272)(cid:396)os(cid:272)ope(cid:863)(cid:895).
