	Inflection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inflection or inflexion is the modification or marking of a word (or more precisely lexeme) to reflect grammatical (that is, relational) information, such as grammatical gender, tense, or person.
		Inflection is the process of adding inflectional morphemes (atomic meaning units) to a word, which may indicate grammatical information (for example, case, number, person, gender or word class, mood, tense, or aspect).
		Inflection is most typically realized by adding an inflectional morpheme (that is, affixation) to the base form (either the root or a stem).

		Inflectional suffixes are required to make a sentence grammatically correct, but they add little meaning to the word.
		In any case, you need to recognize and ignore inflectional suffixes when you are analyzing a word.
		If an inflectional suffix occurs, it will always be the last suffix of any type in the word, and there will only be one inflectional suffix in any word.

		Suffixes may pile up to the number of three or four, and occur in a fixed order, whereas prefixes are commonly single, except for the negative (-un) prefix before another prefix.
		Besides, the phonological distribution of the past participle inflectional suffix attached to regular verbs is completely identical to that of the past tense inflectional suffix.
		The inflectional suffix { -er) regularly pronounced [ әr ] is annexed to adjectives and certain adverbs to signal superiority of one side of the comparison over another, or show the relationship in degree between two units singular and plural (Buckler, 1965 : 148-149; Long, 1974 : 381; Roberts, 1968 : 301).

	ME Phonology
		However, as English continued to be transformed into an uninflected language, the vowels and consonants which were used as inflectional suffixes dropped from the conjugations, leaving the voiced fricatives at word-final position.
		Since inflectional suffixes were unstressed during ME, this resulted in the reduction and eventual loss of the inflectional suffix.
		The reduction of the -e inflection to //, and the eventual dropping of the //, is the historical basis of PDE "plain" adverbs.

	ON 'ROOT BASED' INDO-EUROPEAN: AN EMBRYOLOGICAL OR PHYLOGENETIC NOTE
		Apart from their syntactic functions, the inflectional endings serve as morphological markers for the syntactic category change, a factor which is commonly regarded as typical of derivation (cf.
		She suggests that inflection and derivation should be seen as related on a kind of scale (presumably nondirectional with respect to time), 'where either end serves as a kind of prototypical center', and affixes could move about on the scale over time.
		On the other hand, the adverbial suffix -ly does not add any semantic content to the adjectival basis, which would normally be the case with a derivational affix (except for transpositional suffixes such as -al, -ar, -ic etc. in adjectives like musical, nuclear, atomic).

	Morphology, Part 2
		Inflectional morphology: the way in which words vary (or "inflect") in order to express grammatical contrasts in sentences, such as singular/plural or past/present tense...
		The suffix -ize, objected to by Edwin Newman in words like hospitalize, has a long and venerable history.
		Many words ending with this suffix passed from Ecclesiastical Greek into Latin, where, by the fourth century, they had become established as verbs with the ending -izare, such as barbarizare, catechizare, christianizare.

		The boundaries between inflectional suffixes (represented by the symbol Ô+Õ) are not counted as the edges of the relevant morphological domains.
		Constructions of a verbal root plus inflectional suffixes exhibit a H on the penultimate syllable of a root when the root-final syllable is not heavy, as in (4.5aÐc).
		For instance, the Adversative Suffix /-na/ belongs to (4.31), whereas the Interrogative Suffix /-na/ belongs to (4.30a).

		We assume that inflected forms have the morphological structure [X [X...] suffix] (note that this is in accordance with the majority of morphological literature on this topic, even though there seems to be a discrepancy with some current syntactic thinking at first sight).
		Derivational suffixes, on the other hand, will be morphological heads, and therefore be able to display properties of prosodic heads: they can contain full vowels and non-coronal consonants, and they can bear stress.
		The shape of the past tense suffix in Standard Dutch depends on the preceding context: if this is an underlyingly voiceless obstruent, -te is selected; otherwise, -de is selected.

		The suffixes which show the V/¯ alternation are the relativizer -[«]n, the prospective -[«]l, the honorific -[«]si, the objective -[«]lo, the effective -[«]ni, the conditional -[«]m«n, the formal propositive -[«]so, and the adversative -[«]na.
		The third candidate, where the suffix vowel is deleted and the root vowel is not compensatorily lengthened, is eliminated by the constraint P-stem Minimality.
		The last candidate, where the suffix vowel is deleted and the root vowel is compensatorily lengthened, is selected as optimal although it violates the constraint MAX (V).

		List a representative set of inflectional and derivational morphemes, specifying for each: (i) the phonological form, including reduplication; (ii) the type of morphological structure (e.g., prefix, suffix, infix); (iii) inflectional or derivational; (iv) agglutinating or fusional; and (v) a general description of the meaning.
		The allomorphs appear to be in complementary distribution: the allomorph ending in a voiced alveolar stop occurs before a suffix that begins with a vowel; the allomorph ending in a voiceless alveolar stop occurs when the segment is word final (final devoicing – a somewhat common phonetic process).
		Inflectional and derivational morphemes: -on -yon suffix; derivational; agglutinating: derives a adjective from a verb; Allomorphs of the suffix: -on -yon

		However, the addition of the suffix -ed apparently causes the loss of the final e of chase; thus chase and chas are allomorphs or alternate forms of the same morpheme.
		Its root is the adjective large; the prefix en- forms the verb enlarge; the suffix -ment forms the noun enlargement; and finally the inflectional suffix s marks it plural.
		The first two feature constraints use the lexcat feature to ensure that the plural suffix attaches only to a noun stem and produces a noun word (that is, it does not change the part of speech of the stem as do the derivational affixes).

		The input consists of two patterns: correct combination of the stem and the non-past tense suffix (VA-i and NA-da) and mismatching combination of the stem and the suffix (VA-da and NA-i).

		Ghomeshi (1996)) that these suffixes as well as all the derivational suffixes are cohering (attract stress), whereas all the other inflectional affixes are non-cohering.
		According to his classification, both nominal number and adjectival gradation are non-prototypical inflections, whereas, for example, case and definiteness are prototypical inflections.
		An underlying assumption for her is that inflectional affixes are those that may head functional categories, whereas derivational affixes are part of the word at all levels of syntactic representation.

		Inflection typically encodes categories such as number, tense, gender, and case which are relevant to syntax.
		For example, if you posit the suffix +age in order to derive baggage, acreage, voltage, and so on from noun roots, then the system will happily tell you that cabbage is derived from cab.
		While in principle it is possible to write two-level phonological rules to relate the forms ceive and cep, in practice it is not feasible for two reasons: the phonological distance between the forms is so great that the rules would be very complex, and the rules apply only to a small number of words.

	Generating regular forms
		Inflectional affixes can be applied to any word of a given part of speech, and change its meaning in a uniform way.
		That of inflectional affixes is. So the feature set for mothers has a feature marking it as plural; but that for motherhood does not contain any information about the meaning of hood.
		Finally, English has very few inflections, so the time taken to write and debug the generation rules should be much less, even including their implementation, than that taken to implement a general rule-reverser.

		Inflection process is the process by which affixes combine with roots with the aim of indicating basic grammatical categories, for instance, tense, plurality (dog-s, call-ed: ‘s’ indicates plurality while ‘ed’ indicates the tense of the verb and are inflectional suffixes).
		Inflection (case, number, gender, marker) doesn’t change the part of speech class for the word.
		They occur inside any inflectional affix.(in ‘government’ –ment is a derivational suffix that precedes ‘s’ which is an inflectional suffix).

	Old English for 419
		In general, OE nouns belonged to a system in which there were four inflectional categories: nominative (corresponding to what we call in ModE subjective), genitive (corresponding roughly to possessive), and accusative and dative, both of which are now combined in our objective case.
		Not all verbs in OE however, formed their past tense this way--there are also a number of so-called "weak verbs" which form their past tense by adding a "dental suffix" (that is, a suffix including a [t] or [d] sound).
		In other words, there are a lot of inflectional suffix morphemes in OE, all of which are important syntactically for the meanings of sentences.

		This is just a way of saying that "inflectional" affixes are the last things we add, after we've built the main word up.
		The third singular [-s] suffix of [run-s] will "agree" with the subject of a sentence like "Mary run-s quickly." The basic insight here is that inflectional has to do with relations between words, i.e.
		Analytic languages often have a rigid word order in their sentences, because they don't have lots of inflectional affixes to supply information about who is doing what to whom.

	Name Constructions in Gaulish
		To form the patronym, the stem of the father's name is given the suffix <-I-> and then the appropriate o-stem declensional ending to match the idionym.
		Because the patronym is behaving grammatically as an adjective, it must agree in case and gender with the idionym.
		The most common patronymic formation (in the data I found) adds the suffix <-(I)GN-> to the stem of the parent's name, followed by either an o-stem or a-stem inflectional suffix to match the gender of the idionym.

	Morphology discussion
		The suffix -ness (see next example) is kind of an all-purpose noun-forming suffix, and "spandolicness" seems to work here, too, but the -ity ending is typical of words that have a Latin origin, and "spandolic" has a sort of "Latinate" look.
		We might suggest spandolicate, with a verb forming suffix -ate, but this would suggest that instead of spandolicity, we should have spandolic-at-ion for the noun, with a derivation suffix -ion added to the verb.
		We said that if an affix changes the grammatical category of a word, it is a derivational affix, and from the context, caffet seems to be a noun (or possibly a verb "to caffet" which can also be used as a noun, like "to chip" which gives the noun "a chip").
