Difference between derived words and parasynthetic words

In this video I will explain the difference between derived words and parasynthetic words.

It is easy to confuse parasynthetic and derived words.

1. First type of parasynthetic word: Prefix + Lexeme + Suffix.

Ex. Insociable / intolerant: Derived word

• 1º tolerate >> + suffix -in view of = tolerant

in- + tolerant= intolerant

Forming process not a new prefix + suffix combination

• Trick:

NON PARASYNTHETIC PARASYNTHETIC

* in + toler ≠ * em + borrach

toler + before >> existing in the language. * borrach + ad (o)

2. Second type: LEX + LEX + SUFFIX

Eg Telephone operator / North American: Compound word + morph. derivat

• 1st Telephone> telephone-ista

1st North America> North America-an (o)

• Trick: lexeme + lexeme or lexeme + suffix

Phone // * phonist ≠ * Para + caid * caidista

Referral process training no new combination
