    Affix ↔ Confix

    Meaning of the relation type
    Zwei Begriffe bilden eine redaktionell bestätigte produktive Spannung. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Affixes and confixes are both bound. A confix such as bio‑ in biography contributes lexical content to the formation. Its meaning and the forms it can combine with are relevant to how the word-formation pattern is analysed.
