The authors analyze formants derivational activity, thus outlining the most productive English suffixes and prefixes. They note the origin of productive and unproductive affixes in the modern English language. The features of word addition, its direct relationship with morphology and syntax, the role of word composition in the process of further word formation are considered. The authors point out the difference between phrases and substantiated units, especially the spelling and inflection of the latter.
