<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Null affixation''' is a process by which new words are formed by adding an [[affix]] which happens to be phonologically [[null]]. Many linguists (e.g. Bloomfield (1933), Kiparsky (1982)) account for [[conversion]] by assuming that a null affix is added to a [[base]].<br />
<br />
=== Example ===<br />
<br />
they account for verbs such as ''to clean, to thin, to slow, to warm'' etc. by assuming that these have the structure <nowiki>[[...]</nowiki><sub>A</sub> 0]<sub>V</sub>.<br />
