Types of words

CONTENT WORDS

These words denote concepts such as objects, actions, attributes, and ideas that we can think about like children, build, beautiful, and seldom. Content words are sometimes called the open class words because we can and regularly do add new words to these classes. Content words are words that have meaning; Parts of them are (noun, verb, adjective, and adverb.).

FUNTIONAL WORDS

They specify grammatical relations and have little or no semantic content. Function words are sometimes called closed class words. This is because it is difficult to think of any conjunctions, prepositions, or pronouns that have recently entered the language. 
The small set of personal pronouns such as I, me, mine, he, she, and so on are part of this class.
These words are necessary for the grammatical structure of a language; these words don’t have a specific meaning. Function words include (pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions, etc.).

  AFFIXATION An affix is a group of letters that are generally added to the beginning or the end of a root word that can change the word's meaning. SUFFIXES Suffixes are syllables added to the end of words to change or add to their meaning. They often change a word’s part of speech, thereby also changing how the word functions in a sentence. Suffixes tell you whether a word is a person, place, or thing (a noun); an action or state of being (a verb); or a modifier, which is a word that describes (an adjective or adverb). In other words a suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the end of a word to make a new word PREFIXES Prefixes are syllables attached to the beginning of words to change or add to the meaning of the root word in some way A prefix is a letter or group of letters attached to the beginning of a word that partly indicates its meaning.

ENDOCENTRIC AND EXOCENTRIC COMPOUNDS Compounds words are words that are made by the combination of two or more free morphemes. The compound words are semantically divided into two categories: Endocentric and exocentric compounds. -  Endocentric compound nouns It is a kind of compound in which one element acts as the head and the other as its extension, ascribing a property to the head. In addition the head expresses the compound's central meaning. Examples: Newspaper, textbook, classroom, handbag and bookstore Textbooks Word On Wood Stamps  -  Exocentric compound nouns The exocentric compound is a compound construction without a keyword, that is, it doesn't have a head. They also don't look like what they say. Examples: Scarecrow, redhead, pickpocket, showoff and paperback. Pickpocket Word Cloud Concept REFERENCE Hacken, P. t. (2017). The semantics of compounding .
