cortamiento?
Hi, I am trying to remember the linguistic morphological term that has to do with cutting off part of a word. A good example is cutting off part of "television" to form "tele". What is that process called again? Thanks!

truncamiento or truncation?
Could this be the term? It essentially means what you are describing, though I don't know if it's used in linguistics as well.

Morphology
What about "suffixation" and "prefixation"?

How about "apocope"?
This means to loose letters, o part of the word at the end.

Yes that is the right one is not affixation.... because if you remove an affix or a suffix you change the meaning of the word...this is more a phonetic phenomena how do you call it in english???...don't remember by the way cortamiento doesn't exist..

I totally agree with Verónica...It's apocope..., also metaplasmo.

Sí, yo aprendí apócope para abreviaciones de palabras y, en casos así, acortamiento es el término oficial.

Re: cortamiento?
"Acortamiento" o "clipping".
Una palabra ve reducido su significante reteniendo siempre su significado y la misma categoría gramatical. Se usa en términos familiares, coloquiales. bici, taxi, foto, cine, tele, etc. Llegué un poco tarde con la ayuda...  |
