Abstract

Morphology as a linguistic discipline, which deals with the internal structure of word forms can be divided into two main branches, namely: lexical morphology (word formation) and inflectional morphology (grammar, conjugations/declensions). The language is dynamic and constantly changing. One of the characteristic properties in human language is productivity. It implies the ability to create and for understanding new forms of language by the speaker. In this paper will be presented the most common word-formation processes in English through which they are regularly form new words. The more new words used, the words are more productive. The more new word-formation processes are applied in one language the more productive that language is.
