Some common morphological processes used to create words include:
1. Affixation: Adding prefixes (e.g. un-), suffixes (e.g. -ness), or infixes (e.g. -o-) to a base word to create a new word.
2. Compounding: Combining two or more words to create a new word (e.g. "snow" + "ball" = "snowball").
3. Conversion: Changing the grammatical category of a word without adding any affixes (e.g. "to run" (verb) -> "a run" (noun)).
4. Reduplication: Repeating all or part of a word to create a new word (e.g. "bye-bye", "boo-boo").
5. Back-formation: Creating a new word by removing an affix from an existing word (e.g. "editor" -> "edit").
6. Clipping: Shortening a word by removing one or more syllables (e.g. "advertisement" -> "ad").
7. Blending: Combining parts of two or more words to create a new word (e.g. "brunch" from "breakfast" and "lunch").
8. Acronyms: Creating a new word from the initial letters of a phrase (e.g. "NASA" from "National Aeronautics and Space Administration").
These are just a few examples of the many morphological processes that can be used to create new words in a language.

Affixation: Adding affixes (prefixes, suffixes, or infixes) to a root word to create a new word with a different meaning or grammatical function.
- Prefixation: Adding a prefix to the beginning of a root word, e.g. un-happy, re-build
- Suffixation: Adding a suffix to the end of a root word, e.g. happiness, rebuilt
- Infixation: Inserting an infix within a root word, e.g. sing-song
Compounding: Combining two or more words to form a new word with a unique meaning that is different from the individual words, e.g. bookshelf, skyscraper
Conversion: Changing the grammatical function of a word without altering its form, e.g. run (verb) → run (noun)
Clipping: Shortening a word, e.g. photo (from photograph), limo (from limousine)
Blending: Combining parts of two or more words to create a new word, e.g. smog (from smoke + fog), brunch (from breakfast + lunch)
Reduplication: Repeating a word or part of a word, e.g. happy-happy, zigzag
Abbreviation: Shortening a word or phrase by using only its initial letters or syllables, e.g. USA (United States of America), BTW (by the way)
Acronym: Forming a new word from the initial letters of a series of words, e.g. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)
Onomatopoeia: Creating a word that imitates a sound, e.g. bang, meow
