Abstract

Language is connected to the speaker, and words are part of public speaking. The speakers of these words have no idea of their linguistic history. With the passage of time, the forms, appearances, spellings and meanings of the word change. Old words become absolute, and new words are added to the language. The Descriptive qualitative method was used to analyse the data. The proposed research article enlightens the concept of language growth and one of its practical cases, affixation. Affixation is assessed in two ways: inflectional affixation and derivational affixation. Affixation, which is the process of word formation, has four ways of forming words, including prefixes, suffixes, infixes and circumfixes
