Theories adopting a category-neutral approa... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

For example, it can be said that the root of the English verb form running is run, or the root of the Spanish superlative adjective amplísimo is ampli-, since those words are derived from the root forms by simple suffixes that do not alter the roots in any way. In particular, English has very little inflection and a tendency to have words that a... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

Content words in nearly all languages contain, and may consist... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

Copied the specific text from the Sanskrit article. I am not an expert; corrections are welcome. It is important to mention and explain the use of the √ symbol, as it is very often used in linguistics articles and we need a way to explain it to laypersons who never saw it used in this way before. undo Tag: Visual edit
