    This document discusses different word formation processes in English: 1. Conversion changes words between parts of speech, like changing "access" from a noun to a verb. 2. Affixation uses prefixes or suffixes to modify word meanings, such as "un-" meaning not and "re-" meaning again. 3. Shortening reduces words like "laboratory" to "lab". 4. Compounding combines words into new words like "snowball" or "railroad".
