| Roughly speaking, inflectional constructions can be defined as yielding sets of forms that are all grammatically distinct forms of single vocabulary items, whereas derivational constructions yield distinct vocabulary items. |
| We also have a few derivational processes with similar functions, like bride-to-be and ex-mayor. |
| We discuss the two main mechanisms of Czech derivational morphology, namely suffixation and prefixation. |
| For instance, prefixes and suffixes are bound morphemes and can be further divided into derivational ones and inflectional ones. |
| German is a language that makes extensive use of derivational synthesis to build new words. |
| But the Eskimoan language group uses an extraordinary system of multiple, recursively addable derivational suffixes for word formation called postbases. |
