Abstract
This paper delves into the importance of word building in lexical naming, focusing on how word formation processes like derivation, compounding, and inflection contribute to the evolution of a language's vocabulary. It explores the mechanisms through which these processes facilitate the creation of new words, enabling precise and effective communication. The paper also examines the cognitive and linguistic implications of word formation, offering insights into how languages adapt to societal needs and changes. Through this analysis, the paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of how word building shapes not only individual words but the overall structure and richness of language.
