consists of syntactic codes which describe all the lemmas in the database. A general word
class code is available, as well as more detailed codes on nouns, verbs, adjectives,
numerals, pronouns and prepositions. In German there are, as well as in other languages,
nouns of which only the singular form exists. Words like Hagel or Schnee are examples
of singularia tantum. For those nouns this column includes the code Y. The flex name
and description are as follows
2. What are the basic peculiarities of word formation?
We add prefixes before the base or stem of a word.Conversion involves the change of a
word from one word class to another. For example, the verbs to email and to
microwave are formed from the nouns email and microwaveWe add suffixes after the
base or stem of a word. The main purpose of a suffix is to show what class of word it is
(e.g. noun or adjective).When we use compounding, we link together two or more bases
to create a new word. Normally, the first item identifies a key feature of the second word.
For example, the two bases back and ache can combine to form the compound
noun backache, and the two bases post and card combine to form the compound
noun postcard.Abbreviation involves shortening a word. We do this in three main ways:
clipping, acronyms and blends.We form words with back-formation when we remove
part of a word, usually something which we think is a suffix (or occasionally a prefix).
We do this commonly when we form verbs from nouns.
