1,Methods of Word-formation Besides the loan of foreign words, the main method of enriching modern English vocabulary is to form new words by using existing words. The main methods of word-formation are: affixation词缀法、 compounding复合法、 conversion转换法 blending 拼缀法、 shortening 缩略法 back-formation逆生法 3.1. Affixation Affixation is also called derivation派生法，which forms new words by adding affixations to roots; The newly-formed word is called derivative.

Its also zero derivation（零位派生）, because no affixes are used in the process of word conversion. 转类法是把一种词类转变成另一种词类的构词方法。它无须借助词缀就能实现词类的转换，故称零位派生。 3.3.1 Verb Its very common for nouns and verbs to convert each other, nearly all the simple nouns can be converted into verbs.
