	Translated German Cases \| Institute of Global Law, UCL
		The affixation of a cross or crucifix in the classrooms of a State compulsory school that is not a denominational school infringes Art.
		It is certainly true that the affixation of the cross in classrooms is not associated with compulsion to identification or with particular manifestations of reverence or modes of behaviour.
		With affixation of crosses in classrooms, the presence and demands of which the other-minded cannot escape, this is not the case.

	Hand mountable vehicle carpet affixation device - US Patent 6735819 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The present invention resists affixation device pull-out as well as shear forces applied to the mat with respect to the carpeting on which the mat is placed, but nonetheless permits easy removal and replacement of the vehicle floor mat and of the affixation devices without tools.
		In an affixation method according to the invention, the device is manually positioned such that the first face of the substantially flat noncircular body is adjacent to an upper surface of the floor of the vehicle.
		This is done by simply screwing the affixation device 10 into the carpeting device 92; as the device 10 is pushed toward the carpeting 92, the piece is rotated as is shown by the arrows 100, and this may be done by hand.

	Affixation of vise jaw removable faceplates by keyhole apertures - Patent 4861010
		The particular type of bolt is, however, important neither to the affixation of the previous removable faceplates nor to the removable faceplate of the present invention.
		Meanwhile, it is generally known in the mechanical arts that bolted affixation of members may transpire by use of a keyhole aperture within one of the affixed members.
		The present invention of a vise jaw removable faceplate affixation system is embodied in a vise affixing a removable faceplate to at least one of its jaws, in the removable faceplate so affixable to the vise's jaw, and in a method of affixing a removable faceplate to a vise's jaw.

	Lexical Entries and Rules of Language: A Multidisciplinary Study of German Inflection
		Affixation on the other hand, is a combinatorial process which concatenates an affix with a lexical entry.
		Affixation is only constrained by a small set of general (probably universal) constraints, for example, the constraint that more specific lexical entries take precedence over less specific ones in affixation [3].
		Affixation applies to elements of a given syntactic category, in this case to verbs, irrespective of their phonological or semantic properties and computes a corresponding participle form as its output.

	Label form for use in drug testing and method for applying the same - Patent 5178419
		The portion of the waxy carrying sheet covering the permanent affixation adhesive of the first label segment is stripped off to expose the permanent adhesive on the first label segment and the first label segment is then permanently applied to a container which contains, or will contain, the drug to be tested or the placebo.
		The second and third label segments, which still have their permanent affixation adhesive covered by the waxy carrying sheet, are then manually wrapped around the container, possibly overlapping the first label segment, and are temporarily secured to the container by a temporary securing means such as a rubber band or a small piece of tape.
		The temporary affixation adhesive 29 on the backs of the second and third segments 15a and 16a is an adhesive which enables these segments to be removed from and then re-adhered to various surfaces, including glass, paper and plastic.

	abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The vowel of the affix is either [i] or [u] depending on whether the vowel of the verb stem is unrounded or rounded, and the tone is always mid (Hyman 1970, Kawu 2000, 2002, and Smith 1969) as in the examples in (1).
		Smith (1969) observes that there is some irregularity in the pattern exemplified in (1) to the effect that in gerundial affixation to some verb stems the vowel is either [i] or [u].
		In affixation to verb stems with labial consonants and round vowels, the vowel of the affix varies between the regular labial [u] and the irregular coronal [i].

	Clamp jaw for a spinal affixation device - Patent 5735852
		The invention concerns a clamp for a spinal affixation device which has a base body (1) crossed by a duct (2) having a longitudinal axis (3) for receiving a longitudinal support.
		Thereby a spanner wrench must be used to apply a torque opposing the tightening torque of the affixation screw to prevent the assembly as a whole from rotating while this affixation screw is being tightened.
		In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the duct 2 is closed; however it may also comprise a side aperture (at the side of the base body 1 which is opposite the extension 4) to allow inserting a longitudinal support 15 also sideways through this aperture of the duct 2.

	Board Resolutions \| International Trademark Association (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The practice in many countries has shown that the absence of physical affixation due to the intangible nature of sound marks is not incompatible with trademark protection and can be accommodated, provided the sound is used so as to become connected with the goods and remains consistent.
		Affixation requirements in regards to sound marks should be satisfied so long as the mark is used in a manner that will directly connect or associate it with the product or service.
		As national trademark laws differ in their affixation requirements for use on goods, the Committee does not propose herein a defined affixation standard for international implementation.

	Morphological Processes
		This was one of the chief factors leading to the theory of the morpheme that has dominated linguistics through much of this century, the expectation that all morphological contrasts consist of segmentable material correlating on a one-to-one basis with meaning contrasts--segmentable because they result from either suffixation or prefixation (rarely, infixation).
		Since it often disturbs the integrity of words at their very roots, interrupting them as it were, infixation seems at first glance a process totally other from the more common types of affixation in the performance and perceptual skills it requires, although obviously still well within the range of human capability.
		I will take the position that this is a special instance of affixation, differing from prefixation and suffixation only in that the simultaneity of the separate gestures involved may introduce special effects, being both anticipatory and perseveratory rather than one or the other.

	Luis/Sadler/Spender LFG02 Abstract
		This is a phenomenon which has been largely ignored in the syntactically-oriented literature ('suspended affixation' in Turkish is a partial exception), and we provide further exemplification of this phenomenon, showing that it is not as rare as the paucity of discussion would suggest.
		This raises an interesting problem, however, both for theories of affixation and for principles such as lexical integrity which requires the strict separation of syntax and morphology, and it is these aspects we focus on in this paper.
		With this morphological machinery in place, we examine in more detail the status of phrasal affixation in general and in particular the light that this phenomenon sheds on the nature of the relation between syntactic structure and its morphological expression.

	Final Language Lesson Proposal Paper Introduction to Linguistics
		Affixation occurs whenever a bound morpheme is attached to a free morpheme to create a new word.
		When one of the clerks says, “That gif a man/in a point be agreued,” he’s using a Northern version of the affixation, in which case a- serves as the prefix instead of y- or i-.
		The affixation of y- or i- onto past participal verbs is, of course, a small piece in the larger puzzle that is Middle English.

	Root (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roots can be either free morphemes or bound morphemes.
		Root morphemes are essential for affixation and compounds.
		The root of a word is a unit of meaning (morpheme) and, as such, it is an abstraction, though it can usually be represented in writing as a word would be.

		Satellite dishes used as residential television receivers are real property/or taxation purposes if they are structures assembled at or near the point of affixation, are bolted to landbased structures, and have no economic or utilitarian purpose other than that for which they are affixed to the realty.
		Like the advertising display frames in the Metromedia case, a satellite dish is assembled near or at the place of affixation; it is bolted to a landbased structure and easily removable; and in order to serve its function, it must be connected to a different landbased structure.
		It might seem that the actual intent of the party attaching the structure is dispositive of the permanency issue.

	Sociolinguistic Variation in American Sign Language
		It is now beginning to be clear that sign languages make considerably less use of affixation than do languages such as English, Italian, or Spanish.
		Similarly, verb agreement is not accomplished by affixation as in many spoken languages.
		But because verb agreement is not accomplished by the sequential affixation of morphemes, the internal constraints on such variation will have nothing to do with the sequential occurrence of morphemes, as it does in Caribbean Spanish, for example, with final —s aspiration or final —s deletion in verbs.

	What is lexical phonology?
		Affixation is less productive and more exception ridden.
		A tense vowel becomes lax when a short word is lengthened by adding a suffix, so that the words ends up having at least three syllables.
		This derivation demonstrates affixation in lexical phonology accompanied by the application of a phonological rule, trisyllabic shortening.

		The method most frequently used is affixation — the adding of a prefix, a suffix or both to an existing word to create a longer word that gets our meaning across.
		Unruly, ungainly and untoward were all formed by standard affixation from their positive opposites: ruly, gainly and toward, but while the former survive, the adjectives they were derived from have fallen by the wayside.
		Here Woody Allen uses affixation to create a comical-sounding noun, jejunosity (admittedly, from an already bizarre-sounding adjective), but also uses back formation to create a shorter, putative adjective june to denote the opposite of jejune.

	What is a derivational affixation? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Derivational affixation is the process of adding affixes to roots or bases in order to vary function or modify meaning.
		Affixation transforms a stem or word from one part of speech to another (from one word class to another).

	It's Ablaut Time: Morphologically Conditioned Sound Change II
		Well, as entangledbank pointed out, there are at least three possible culprits (assuming we want to avoid the idea that sound changes are morphologically conditioned): stress differences, analogy, and affixation.
		This stress would have to be traced, originally, either to analogy or some sort of stress-shifting affixation.
		I believe that affixation is ultimately to blame.
