Abstract

This article aims to investigate the derivational morphology of lexical word categories in the Assamese language. Derivational morphology refers to the process of forming new words by adding affixes or modifying existing words. Understanding the derivational patterns and processes specific to Assamese is crucial for linguistic research, language documentation, and language teaching. This study adopts a descriptive approach, examining various lexical word categories in Assamese and analyzing their derivational patterns. The findings provide insights into the productive derivational processes and strategies employed in Assamese, contributing to the broader field of morphological analysis.
