*prefix*

*PREFIX DATABASE*

.

*a prefix is an ‘affix’ which is placed before the ‘stem’ of a word*

.

(adding it to the beginning of 1 ‘word’ changes it into another ‘word’)

(for example, when the prefix un- is added to the word happy, it creates the word unhappy)

(particularly in the study of ‘languages’, a ‘prefix’ is also called a pre-formative, because it alters the form of the words to which it is ‘affixed’)

.

(‘prefixes’ (like other ‘affixes’) can be either…) 

‘inflectional’

(creating a new ‘form’ of the ‘word’ with the same basic ‘meaning’ + same ‘lexical category’ (but playing a different role in the ‘sentence’))

*OR*

‘derivational’

(creating a new word with a new ‘semantic meaning’ (+ sometimes also a different ‘lexical category’)

.

(‘prefixes’ (like all other ‘affixes’) are usually ‘bound morphemes’)

.

(in ‘english’, there are no ‘inflectional prefixes’)

(‘english’ uses ‘suffixes’ instead for that purpose)

.

*meta-alert* –>

(the word prefix is itself made up of the stem fix (meaning “attach” in this case), and the prefix pre- (meaning “before”), both of which are derived from ‘latin roots’)
