WORD BUILDING: Conversion
Conversion is a way to form new words by means of changing their morphological paradigm (their part of speech) without any prefixes or suffixes, e.g. land – to land
In English there are the following productive patterns of conversion:
| conversion | examples of conversion pairs | conversion | examples of conversion pairs | |||||
| patterns | patterns | |||||||
| N – V | manufacture – to manufacture | Adj – N | wireless – a wireless | |||||
| V – N | to flow – a flow | Adj – Adv | fast – fast | |||||
| N – Adj | a miniature – miniature | Adj – V | thin – to thin | |||||
7. In the following sentences find and mark the words that are members of conversion pairs:
1. Microelectronics comprises a multi-disciplinary study of the key technologies and related issues associated with the design, manufacture, assembly and various applications of miniaturized electronic devices.
