What is a morphological process?

Definition: A morphological process is a means of changing a stem to adjust its meaning to fit its syntactic and communicational context.

Here are some kinds of morphological processes:

1.What is affixation?
2.What is prefixation?
3.What is suffixation?
4.What is circumfixation?
5.What is infixation?
6.What is modification?
7.What is reduplication?

Note: The process suppletion, though not strictly morphological, typically encodes the same type of information as the above morphological processes. It is often discussed in conjunction with them.
