Word-formation processes in English involvemechanisms such as derivation and composition, whichexpand the lexicon of the language and allow for thecreation of new terms from existing elements. Regardingword-formation processes, analyze the followingstatements.I. Derivation by prefixation adds elements to the beginning of the base word, as in "un-" in "unhappy", generallyaltering meaning without modifying the grammatical class of the term.II. Derivation by suffixation in English, when applied toterms such as "happiness" and "quickly", preserves thegrammatical class of the original base word, promotingonly semantic adjustments in the meaning of the term.III. Composition combines autonomous words into newlexical units, as in "blackboard" and "toothbrush", joiningterms that also circulate independently in the language.The correct statements are:
- AI and III only.
- BI, II and III.
