Abstract
Affixation is a morphological process that involves the addition of prefixes, suffixes, infixes, or circumfixes to a base or root word to create new meanings or grammatical forms. This linguistic phenomenon plays a crucial role in word formation across various languages, allowing for the expansion of vocabulary and the expression of nuanced meanings. Affixation can alter a word's tense, aspect, mood, or even its part of speech, thereby enriching the language and enhancing communication. This article explores the types of affixes, their functions, and the implications of affixation in linguistic studies, as well as its applications in language teaching and learning.
