Any of the formal processes or operations by which the forms of words are derived from stems or roots is known as

  • A.Morphological process
  • B.Phonological process
  • C.Phonetic process
  • D.Morpho-phonemic process

Answer: A

A formal process by which word forms are derived from stems or roots, such as affixation, reduplication, compounding or internal change, is a morphological process. Morphology is the study of word structure, and these operations create inflected and derived forms.

A phonological process changes sounds in a context (for example assimilation) and a phonetic process concerns the production or acoustics of speech sounds. A morpho-phonemic process is a sound change triggered by a morphological context, such as the plural alternation in 'knife, knives', not the derivation of the word form itself.
