loom the thunder-blasted treethe blacken eagle soar! [19, 90]
Blacken (v)is made by merging of the adjective "black and the suffix "-en" The Germanic suffix -en attaches to monosyllables that end in a plosive, fricative or affricate.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtainme- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before [19,160]
Silken (v) is formed form the noun "silk" and the suffix "-en". Most bases are adjectives (e.g. blacken, broaden, quicken, ripen), but a few nouns can also be found (e.g. strengthen, lengthen)
My tantalize spiritblandly reposes [19, 74]
(v) this word has roots in Latin mythology and formed by adding of the suffix "-ize". Both -ize and -ify are polysemantic suffixes, which can express a whole range of related concepts such as locative, ornative, and causative/factitive, resultative, inchoative, performative, similative.examples from E.A. Poes prose
In studies of a nature more than all else adapted to deaden impressions of the outward world [20, 170]
(v) is derived from the word dead by means of the suffix -en. The Germanic suffix -en attaches to monosyllables that end in a plosive, fricative or affricate. Most bases are adjectives (e.g. blacken, broaden, quicken, ripen) and nouns can also be found (e.g. strengthen, lengthen).all we want just now, you know, uncle, is that you would indicate the time precisely [21, 65]
(v) this example of the suffixation has the suffix -ate and can be paraphrased as provide with something, as fluorinate, or make into something, as in methanate.
All I accomplished was the demolition of the crystal which humidifies the dial of the clock upon the mantel-piece [19, 33]
(v) made by the suffix -ify. Both -ize and -ify are polysemous suffixes, which can express a whole range of related concepts such as locative, ornative, and causative/factitive, resultative, inchoative, performative, simulative.) Adjectival suffixesadjectival suffixes of English can be subdivided into two major groups. A large proportion of derived adjectives are relational adjectives, whose role is simply to relate the noun the adjective qualifies to the base word of the derived adjective.following are the examples from E.A. Poes poetry
A dark unfathomed tideinterminable pride [19, 30]
(adj.) the verb "to intermine" is combined with the suffix "-able". The suffix chiefly combines with transitive and intransitive verbal bases, as in deferrable and perishable, respectively, as well as with nouns, as in serviceable, fashionable.
, opaque, immortal- all by dintthe dear names that he concealed withint. [19, 71]
Immortal (adj.) is produced by the suffix the "-al. This relational suffix attaches almost exclusively to Latinate bases (accidental, colonial, cultural, federal, institutional, and modal).
Gazing, entranced, adown the gorgeous vista,thrilling as I see, upon the right [19, 51]
(adj.) is derived from the noun gorge" by adding he suffix "-ous". This suffix derives adjectives from nouns and bound roots, the vast majority being of Latinate origin (curious, barbarous, famous, synonymous, and tremendous).
O God! Can I not save?from the pitiless wave [19, 21]
(adj.) this word is combined by adding the suffix "-less to the adjective "pity". Semantically, -less can be seen as antonymic to -ful, with the meaning being paraphrasable

Marvellous (adj.) and pendulous (adj.) are derived by the suffix "-ous"
Their odorous souls in an ecstatic death-on the upturned faces of these roses [19,104]
Ecstatic (adj.) is form by adding the suffix "-ic" to the base -ecstate". Being another relational suffix -ic also attaches to foreign bases (nouns and bound roots). Quite a number of -ic derivatives have variant forms in -ical (electric - electrical, economic - economomical, historic - historical, magic - magical etc.).
How many scenes of what departed blissmany thoughts of what entombed hopes. [19, 109]
Departed (adj.) derived by the adding of the suffix -ed to the verb "to depart. This suffix derives adjectives with the general meaning as in broad-minded, pig-headed, and wooded.
Entombed (adj.) the suffix "-ed" is added to the verb "to entomb. The majority of derivatives are based on compounds or phrases (empty-headed, pig-headed, air-minded, and fair-minded).following are the examples from E. A. Poes prose
Through a species of unutterable horror and awe, for which the language of mortality has no sufficiently energetic expression [20, 143]
Unutterable (adj.) consist of the base utter, prefix un- and the suffix -able. The suffix chiefly combines with transitive and intransitive verbal bases, as deferrable and perishable, respectively, as well as with nouns, as in serviceable, fashionable.
I derived, from many existences in the material world, a sentiment such as I felt always aroused within me by her large and luminous orbs. [19,209]
Material (adj.) derived by the means of the suffix -al.

[21,165]
Romantic (adj.) is built be the suffix -ic. Being another relational suffix, -ic also attaches to foreign bases (nouns and bound roots). Quite a number of -ic derivatives have variant forms in -ical (electric - electrical, economic - economomical, historic - historical, magic - magical etc.).
The most beautiful became the most hideous. [21,172]
Beautiful (adj.) constructed with the suffix - ful. The adjectival suffix -ful has the general meaning having something, being characterized by something and is typically attached to abstract nouns, as beautiful, insightful, purposeful, tactful.
His complexion was absolutely bloodless. [20,249]
Bloodless (adj.) derived by the means of the suffix -less. Semantically, -less can be seen as antonymic to --ful, with the meaning being paraphrasable as without something: expressionless, hopeless, speechless, and thankless.
Yet I believe that I met her first and most frequently in some large, old, decaying city near the Rhine. [20, 72]
Decaying (adj.) the suffix -ing is added to the word to decay. This verbal inflectional suffix primarily forms present participles, which can in general also be used as adjectives in attributive positions.
His imagination was singularly vigorous and creative; and no doubt it derived additional force from the habitual use of morphine. [19,290]
Vigorous (adj.) combined by the adding of the suffix -ous. This suffix derives adjectives from nouns and bound roots, the vast majority being of Latinate origin (curious, barbarous, famous, synonymous, and tremendous).
Creative (adj.) this suffix forms adjectives mostly from Latinate verbs and bound roots that end in t or s: connective, explosive, fricative, offensive, passive, preventive, and primitive, receptive, speculative. Some nominal bases are also attested, as in instinctive, massive.can conclude according the examples, which are given above that the main function of suffixes in E.A. Poes prose, and poetry is to form one part of speech from another; the secondary function is to change the lexical meaning of the same part of speech. Suffixation is the most productive type of affixation in E.A. Poes literally works and throughout the history of English literature. It consists in adding a suffix to the stem of a definite part of speech. E. Poe used the process of affixation to coin a new word by adding a suffix or several suffixes to some root morpheme.role of the suffixation in E. Poes works is very important and therefore it is necessary to consider certain features of this process dominating in E. A. Poes prose and poetry. From the scope of the part-of- speech classification Noun-suffixes and Adjective-suffixes prevail in comparing with the other types of this classification. According to the lexico-grammatical character of suffixes, de-nominal and de-adjectival suffixes are the most frequently used ones. Also a wide spread have the Latin and Greek suffixes due to specificity of E. Poes works.
2.1.2 Prefixation
In contrast to compounding, affixation links so-called prefixes and suffixes, which are not independent, to words of all types. The type of affix determines the effect the affixation will have on the word. Here, we discuss supportive and opposing prefixes. They are used to express support for or disapproval of whatever is expressed by the word they are attached to.prefixes of English can be classified semantically into the following groups. First, there is a large group that quantify over their base wor
