adjectives 2.1 ENGLISH WORD: DEFINITION There have been many definitions of a word in different ways proposed by famous linguists and they all are not satisfactory making one problem or two for English In the orthographic way, a word is defined as any sequence of letters which is bound on either side by a space Blomfield (1933, p 178, quoted in Palmer, 1981, p 33) thought of the word as the “minimum free form”, the smallest form that may appear in isolation In the grammatical way, words are defined as having the criteria of “positional mobility” and “internal stability” (Singleton, 2000, p 9) That is words are not fixed in sentences and within words, the order of smaller elements remain consistent and no element can be added Semantically, words are considered tobe basic units of meaning There are acceptedly individual units of meaning which are expressed in single, simple words Palmer (1981, p 32) states that “not all words have the same kind of meaning as others; some seem to have little or none” 2.2 WORD-FORMATION Occasionally words are introduced that are completely new in the way that they have not been constructed on the basis of known words, more common words are introduced that are constructed on the basis of already existing words through the application of Word-formation process In the formation of Adjectives in English specifically the following processes are involved (cf Quirk et al 1985, p 1520): a) Prefixation: making a prefix infront of the base sometimes with, but most ussually without, a change of word class; e.g ir-responsible, un- grammatical b) Suffixation: making a suffix after the base, sometimes without, but ussually with, a change of word class; e.g boyish, adaptable c) Conversion: R Huddleston defines conversion as “changing of the word‟s syntactic category without any concomitant change of the form Conversion therefore, has no effect on the morphological structure.” (Huddleston 2002: 1640) Conversion deviding the base into a different word class with no change of form; In the case of Chapter 30: rat-tailed nag Chapter 35: ginger-colored beard Chapter 36; half-smoked cigar, man-sized job Chapter 39: God-damned Orangeman
