Abstract

Word formation is a process which is very important to enrich vocabulary of a language. There are various ways of word formation in English such as affixation, word composition, conversion, abbreviation, sound imitation, sound interchange, stress interchange, backformation, blending. Conversion is one of the productive way of forming new words. It involves the change of a word from a word class to another. It is also called zero derivation, root formation, functional change or affixless derivation. This article discusses the conversion as the main way of forming verbs in Modern English and their formation from different parts of speech, semantic groups.
