Discuss the major derivational suffixes of English and classify them according to the scheme of classification.

Suffixes are therefore classified on the basis of grammar. Here also we face a problem. How should we classify them grammatically? Shall we  classify the suffixes on the basis of the part of speech of the stems to which they are attached, or shall we classify them on the basis of the  part of speech of the words that result from suffixation? For example, shall we call -ness an adjective suffix because it is attached to adjectives  (e.g. kind, happy, mean), or shall we call it a noun suffix because the resulting words (kindness, happiness, meanness) are nouns?

The best classification will. of course, be one which gives us both kinds of information viz., information regarding the part of speech of the stem  and the part of speech of the resulting word. We first classify the _____ ______ _________ _____ __________ ___ ____ ______ __________ ___ _______.
