sarhaddi balochi dialect, a language variety of western (rakhshani) balochi, employs derivation through affixation as one of its word formation processes. the purpose of this article is to present a synchronic description of the way(s) different derivational affixes function in making complex words in sarhaddi balochi as spoken in granchin[1] district located about 35kms to the southeast of kha...

Three paper-and-pencil measures were administered to students in fourth, sixth, and eighth grades to assess different aspects of their knowledge of English derivational suffixes. Children appear to develop a rudimentary knowledge of derivational morphology--the, ability to recognize a familiar stem in a derivative--before fourth grade. Knowledge of the syntactic properties of derivational suffi...

The skew of a binary string is the difference between the number of zeroes and the number of ones, while the length of the string is the sum of these two numbers. We consider certain suffixes of the lexicographicallyleast de Bruijn sequence at natural breakpoints of the binary string. We show that the skew and length of these suffixes are enumerated by sequences generalizing the Fibonacci and L...

Abstract. In this paper, we consider a possible representation of a DNA sequence in a quaternary tree, in which one can visualize repetitions of subwords (seen as suffixes of subsequences). The CGRtree turns a sequence of letters into a Digital Search Tree (DST), obtained from the suffixes of the reversed sequence. Several results are known concerning the height, the insertion depth for DST bui...

The addition of inflectional suffixes in Bangla compound words is fairly complex. Normally, when two root words are joined, the corresponding inflectional suffix of each root word is deleted from the final compound word. In Bangla however, the compound word’s individual root words may retain their inflectional suffixes even in the final compound word. This non-deletion of inflection creates an ...

We present a quantitative investigation of the cross-linguistic usage of some (relatively) newly minted derivational morphemes. In particular, we examine the lexical semantic content expressed by three suffixes originating in English: -gate, -geddon and -athon. Using data from newspapers, we look at the distribution and lexical semantic usage of these morphemes not only within English, but acro...
