CONVERSION IN THE MODERN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Abstract
Conversion, a process by which words change their grammatical category without morphological alterations, is a prominent feature of the modern English language. This research article explores the phenomenon of conversion, examining its theoretical foundations, types, and linguistic implications. By analyzing various instances of conversion in contemporary English, the study highlights the dynamic nature of word formation and its impact on language usage. The article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of conversion, supported by examples and relevant literature, contributing to the broader field of morphological studies.
