Word formation: new words

1. Affixation; words are formed by adding affixes = sing+er, un+productive
2. Compounding; words are formed by combining two or more words = overdo, pickpocket
3. Acronyms; formed by taking the initial letters and pronouncing them like a normal word = aids (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), radar (radio detecting and ranging)
4. Blending; combining parts of two words to form a new one = smog, brunch etc
5. Clipping; shortening of words = prof(essor), lab(oratory)
6. Backformation; a shortened word created from a longer word = editor => edit
