Derivational compounds are compound derivatives (nt, black heared boy). Compounds may be based
on reduplication (nt, hush-hush, murmur). Ironic words (nt, pretty-pretty), ablaut combinations two
parts with same consonant sounds but different vowels (nt, chit-chat foolish talking). There is also
rhyming combinations (hoity-toity)

. Conversion is using a word of one part of speech as a word of some other part of speech. Words with
complex structure are not converted as a rule. (nt, childhood, friendship)
Noun becomes a verb (anger, to anger)- that's the basic model of conversion
Adj becomes a verb (to thin, to slow, to equal)
Prep becomes a verb (to out, to down)
Prep becomes a noun (ups and downs)
