The first part of the term paper presents different types of Early Modern English (EME) word-formation processes, in which the main focus is on a detailed description of inflection and derivation as well as compounds. Moreover, a comparisson between these processes and the influence of classical loanwords and loanwords from other languages is to be made, trying to answer the question: In how far did loanwords influence EME word-formation processes?
