Question

Write short note on Conversion as a morphological device in English.

Answer 1

Hey mate, here is your answer :

Conversion is a process in morphology by which speakers of a language change or modify the meaning of words or the base form of words (morphemes). There are two basic kinds of morphological processes: concatenative (combining morphemes) and non-concatenative (modifying the internal structures of the morphemes).

Hope this answer helps you...!!!

Answer 2

Conversion is the process of word formation by assigning the base to a word-class without changing its form, ie, with zero affixation. Examples is  ride as a verb and ride as a noun.
