Morphological Processes in Product Naming by Trado-Medical Practitioners in Nigeria
Abstract
The paper aims at investigating the morphological processes underlining the naming of products by trado-medical practitioners in Nigeria. The subjects for the study are thirty itinerant trado-medical practitioners. The data were collected through oral interview, tape recordings and observational notes. It is found out that though the trado-medical practitioners in Nigeria make use of several morphological processes in naming their products, the commonest morphological process used is blending.
