Formação de palavras (prefixos e sufixos) | Word formation (prefix and suffix)

The process of word formation in English involves mechanisms such as prefixation, suffixation, derivation, and compounding, each contributing to the enrichment of vocabulary and linguistic expressiveness.
Read the following descriptions and select the CORRECT alternative about word formation in English.

Prefixation in English, as in "unhappy" and "disagree," is exclusively used to create words with positive meanings.

Suffixation is a process that only changes the grammatical class of a word, without affecting its basic meaning, as in "joy" (noun) to "joyful" (adjective).

In English, suffixes do not have semantic functions and are used only to determine the pronunciation of complex words.

Words formed by compounding, such as "breakfast" and "sunflower," cannot be used in formal contexts due to the informal nature of these combinations.

Derivation involves adding affixes (prefixes or suffixes) to a base, while compounding creates new words by combining two independent bases, as in "notebook."
