Word Formation process: Clipping


     WHAT'S CLIPPING πŸ’???                            

This is a word formation process that reduces or shortens a word without changing the exact meaning, in contrast to the back- formation process. It reserves the original meaning. 

 Clipping is divided into four types  


 1. Back Clipping                                                    
Removes the end of a word

 Examples : Ad -advertisement
                    Photo -photograph 


 2.Fore clipping                                                      
 Removes the begging part of a word 

 Examples :Phone- telephone πŸ“ž 
                   HamburgerπŸ”- burger


 3.middle clipping                                                 
Reserves the middle position

 Examples :Flu😷- influenza 
                   Fridge- refrigerator

 
 4.Complex clipping                                              
Removes multiple words 

 Examples: Ad-Advantage
