ABSTRACT
Chapter 6 is about common Bantu word formation strategies. Bantu languages are rich in morphology, equally so when it comes to derivation. This chapter surveys the major derivational processes, such as verb-to-verb derivation, verb-to-noun derivation, noun-to-noun derivation and noun-to-verb derivation, as well as different other ways of forming words, such as the clitising of pre- and post-stem elements, compounding and reduplication.
