2. Conversion (word formation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_(word_formation)

   In linguistics, conversion, also called zero derivation or null derivation, is a kind of word formation involving the creation of a word (of a new part of speech) from an existing word (of a different part of speech) without any change in form, [1] which is to say, derivation using only zero. For example, the noun green in golf (referring to a ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphological_derivation

   For example, one effect of the English derivational suffix -ly is to change an adjective into an adverb (slow → slowly).

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial-stress-derived_noun

   Initial-stress derivation is a phonological process in English that moves stress to the first syllable of verbs when they are used as nouns or adjectives. (This is an example of a suprafix .)

8. List of Latin words with English derivatives - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_words_with...

   This is a list of Latin words with derivatives in English (and other modern languages). Ancient orthography did not distinguish between i and j or between u and v. [1] Many modern works distinguish u from v but not i from j. In this article, both distinctions are shown as they are helpful when tracing the origin of English words.

9. Distributed morphology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_morphology

   For example, if at the end of the derivation there is a terminal node with the features [+past, + plural, +3rd person] and the lexical root √PLAY, then the phonological content that will be assigned to the node will be the one corresponding to "played" because the most highly specified vocabulary item for this node is the item /d ...
