 Abstract

This study is comparative between affixation in English and Arabic to

arrive at the similarities and differences between the two languages. This

study aims at describing, analyzing and comparing affixation in English

and Arabic by defining it, showing ways of classifying affixes and

illustrating their types. The final finding of this study is that affixation is

found in the compared languages. English language is concerned with the

types of affixes through the process of affixation. Arabic language is

interested in the idea of (Al-Tasriif) in the process of affixation and it

does not pay much attention to the types of affixes though both of the two

languages have the same ways of classifying affixes.
