Everything about Suprafix totally explained
In
linguistics, a
suprafix is a type of
affix where a
suprasegmental change (such as
tone or
stress) modifies an existing
morpheme's meaning. In many
languages, they're used to differentiate between otherwise identical
lexemes, but in some they're used
derivationally or
inflectionally.
An example in
English is
proDUCE and
PROduce, the former being a
verb meaning to create or to bring forth, and the latter being an
initial-stress-derived noun referring to farm products, especially fruits and vegetables.
Another is
Mandarin 好 hǎo (to be good) and 好 hào (to find good), where the
tone changes from low to falling.
