According to McMILLAN (1980), give a brief description of the grammatical nature of elements which can be inserted in a lexical unit. Give examples:
The insertion is most frequently made immediately after the syllabe with primary lexical stress. Ex:
Analyze how the author signals the use of these elements through language. For example, word choices, transitions, or logical connections.…

Every language carries certain features that distinguish it from other languages although the languages descending from the same origin portray greater resemblances than the ones descending from different families, the similarities and differences are what make learning another language an easy task or an exhausting one. In the field of linguistics, the study of the internal structure of words- since words are the elements constructing any language and they are generally accepted as being the smallest units of any language syntax- is important; it is clear that in most (if not all) languages, words can be related to other words by rules and any language speakers can recognize the words and their relations from their tacit knowledge of the rules of word-formation. These rules are understood by the native speaker and reflect specific patterns in the way words are formed from smaller units and how those smaller units interact in speech. In this way, morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies patterns of word-formation within and across languages, and attempts to formulate rules that model the knowledge of the speakers and learners of these languages.…

* "Derivational morphology studies the principles governing the construction of new words, without reference to the specific grammatical role a word might play in a sentence. In the formation of drinkable from drink, or disinfect from infect, for example, we see the formation of new words, each with its own grammatical properties."…
