	SILEWP 1997-001
		For example, an /m/ in a syllable coda is seen as a suffix that adds an [m]; or an /n/ in the coda is seen not as the phoneme /n/ but as a suffix that fronts, lengthens, and nasalizes the vowel.
		The [g] and [s] in coda position are referred to as the "suffix" and "post-suffix," respectively.
		Codas may be specified for Coronal either by simplification rules that create coronal codas or by the restriction against the place node, by which Coronal is later inserted by a redundancy rule.

		For instance, in English, the number of words that end in the suffix -th (e.g., warmth) is quite small, whereas there are thousands of words ending in the suffix -ness (e.g., goodness).
		In formal linguistics, the lexicon is generally viewed as the repository of the unpredictable, which leads to the prediction that fully predictable complex words, whether derived or inflected, would not leave traces in lexical memory.
		The term 'morphological productivity' is generally used informally to refer to the number of words in use in a language community that a rule describes.

	Verbing Nouns
		English has lost a lot of inflection and also derivation (the two different kinds of morphology); and derivational morphology is what usually negotiates between word classes.
		That means that, instead of taking the usual route of adding a derivational suffix to change word class, one adds Zero, like the Zero that marks the past tense on He cut the ribbon.
		There is a name for verbing and nouning and otherwise changing the Word Class (or, as word class was called in Latinate grammar, part of speech) without benefit of suffix.

	ALS98 PAPERS - Alan Dench
		Warriyangka and Tharrkari show further elaboration of this pattern: on i-stems, the suffix-initial glide is y rather than w, while on u-stems the suffix is realised as lengthening of the stem-final vowel.
		However, while this line of argument might be taken to explain the patterns of allomorphy for 'Belonging', 'Side' and 'Allative' suffixes, and can also explain the consistent wu genitive on vowel-final stems, it does not account for the forms of the accusative.
		Given these frequencies, it is easy to imagine that the patterns found on a-stems might serve as the basis for a levelling of the allomorphy.

		Specification suffixes reflect aspects of certain articles, deictics and determiners in English but are not exact correlates.
		It will suffice to consider the suffix as comparable to the English infinitive structure

	Suffix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, a suffix is an affix that succeeds the morphemes to which it can attach.
		(See derivation and also the list of English suffixes.)
		A suffix is a style at the end of a person's name which gives additional identifying information about the person.

	Agreement (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All regular verbs in English agree in the third-person singular of the present indicative by adding a suffix of either "-s" or "-es".

	Possessive suffix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, a possessive suffix is a suffix attached to a noun to indicate its possessor, much in the manner of possessive pronouns.
		In Hebrew, a Semitic language, possessive suffixes are optional; they are more common in formal, archaic, or poetic language, and they are also more common on certain nouns than on others.
		Possessive suffixes do not exist in all languages; they do exist in some Finno-Ugric and Semitic languages.

	AllRefer.com - tense (Language And Linguistics) - Encyclopedia
		In Latin inflection the tense of a verb is indicated by a suffix that also indicates the verb's voice, mood, person, and number.
		Any conjugated form of a verb that indicates tense is said to be finite; the infinitive is a special verb form that lacks all tense (as well as mood, person, and number), although it may indicate the active ( to read) or passive ( to be read) voice.
		Tense specifies whether the verb refers to action in the past, present, or future.

	Marker (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, a marker is a free or bound morpheme that indicates the grammatical function of the marked word or sentence.
		Latin: the suffix -is in flaminis is a case marker, specifically a genitive marker
		In analytic languages and agglutinative languages, markers are generally easily distinguished.

	Linguistics Guide: Modern English Morphology
		Determine whether a morpheme is a base or an affix (and a prefix or a suffix), inflectional or derivational, and free or bound.
		An affix is a morpheme added to the beginning or end of a base morpheme in order to change either the word's meaning, the word's form class (such as making a verb an adverb), or its function in the sentence.
		A bound morpheme is a morpheme that cannot stand by itself as a word.

		An affix can be a prefix (something attached at the front), a suffix (attached at the back), an infix (in between) or a circumfix (two parts, one in front, the other at the back).
		An affix is a morpheme that is attached to a base morpheme to form a word form.

	Article of the Month Page
		In linguistics, morphological derivation is defined as "the process by which a new word is built from a base, usually through the addition of an affix." Derivation creates a new word by changing the category and/or the meaning of the base word to which it applies.
		They are all derived from the same root word, but given different twists through the various affixes (prefixes and suffixes) which have been added to the base word.
		The derivational affix "er," for instance, combines with a verb "X" to create a noun with the meaning "one who does X." The verbs "drive," "jump," "teach," "heal," "help," etc., can all be transformed into nouns by adding the suffix "er" -- i.e., driver, jumper, teacher, healer, helper.

		This paper focuses on the nonpast suffix -unnu in Malayalam in the light of Amritavalli and Jayaseelan’s claim that what has been identified as tense in Dravidian is actually Aspect.
		Then, if the suffixed elements in the past form [ -a ] for masculine, and [ -at ] for feminine in (9e) and (9f) respectively, are taken to be Agr, then Ouhalla’s assumption becomes valid.
		Tense as a category may not exist in Kannada negative clauses, but the question whether tense exists as a syntactic category cannot be answered by looking at just morphological facts.

	Ling/CSE 472: Introduction to Computational Linguistics
		It is stress assignment is important for figuring out pronunciation because a) phonological rules affecting the pronunciation of segments are sensitive to stress and b) lexical stress interacts with other factors to determine the prosody of an utterance.
		In particular, there are `name suffixes' (recurring forms at the end of many different names) which leave the stress assignment of the stem unchanged (stress-neutral name suffixes) and those which cause the stress to move (stress-changing suffixes).
		Find two name suffixes, one which is stress neutral and one which changes the stress on the stem.

	What is a stem?
		A stem may require an inflectional operation (often involving a prefix or suffix) in order to ground it into discourse and make it a fully understandable word.
		A stem is the root or roots of a word, together with any derivational affixes, to which inflectional affixes are added.
		A stem consists minimally of a root, but may be analyzable into a root plus derivational morphemes.

	Mechanisms of change
		With general reduction of final syllables and the loss of inflections in verbs and nouns, the infinitive suffix gradually disappeared.
		While the reduction is extreme in many cases, it usually follows patterns that are also seen in ongoing or future sound changes, suggesting that it is the frequency of use that hastens the changes.
		Besides the reduction of the consonants and vowels within words, grammaticization often involves the phonological fusion of words or morphemes that formerly were separate.

		Definite phrases are associated with a monomoraic suffix as part of their morphology, which has two allomorphs.
		Kiparsky (1991) argues that it is formally the erasure of a prosodic constituent (mora or syllable) at the edge of a domain, together with all prosodic structure dominating it.
		In prosodic theory the morpheme status of bare moras is argued for by Lombardi and McCarthy (1991), who analyse morphological medial gemination in Choctaw as affixation of a mora.

	Weak (grammatical term) - MindSharer Article Archive
		In most Germanic languages, the preterites and past participles of weak verbs are distinguished by a dental suffix, an inflection that contains a /t/ or /d/ sound.
		Not all weak verbs are regular verbs in English; some have been made irregular by eclipsis or contraction, such as hear ~ heard; while others are merely irregular due to the eccentricities of English spelling, such as lay ~ laid.
