DERIVATION
The formation of new words by adding affixes (class changing or class maintaining) to words or morphemes
Derivational paradigm:A set of related words composed of the same base
morpheme and all the derivational affixes that can go with this base
Ex: child
Base(root) + derivational affix(es) New derived word
, childhood, childlike, childish, childishness, childishly, childless, childlessness

Ex: child , children, child’s, children’s

How to divide a word into IC’s?
The first cut is b/w the inflectional suffix (if any) and the rest of the word. The IC’s should be free forms, having meaning on their own. The meaning of the IC’s should be related to the meaning of the word
