Todo o vocabulário de uma língua é formado através de alguns processos específicos. Há palavras primitivas, das quais se derivam outras palavras. Há palavras que evoluíram de línguas mais antigas que originaram aquela língua em particular, há misturas entre essas palavras herdadas e outras próprias da língua e há os processos de formação de palavras internos às línguas, que se dão através de derivação e de composição. O estudo da formação das palavras denomina-se morfologia (do grego morphe: morfo = forma + logos = estudo) e demonstra não só a flexibilidade da língua em receber e em criar novos vocábulos, mas as possibilidades do usuário nativo da língua transferir uma palavra de uma categoria a outra através do uso dos mecanismos que permitem essa variação.

Like Castles In An Aquarium, Offshore Drilling Platforms Are Sprawling With Residents
Just beneath the ocean’s surface, there’s an unseen world that most people will never have the opportunity to witness firsthand. A place where nature and mankind have struck a balance – a mutual respect, a friendship of sorts.
Offshore drilling platforms have become home to vast communities of sea life. Florid carpets of coral encrust their massive pylons, along with sponge, sea urchins, crabs, and snails. Swimming in the sanctuary of their enormous risers are schools of rockfish, bright orange garibaldi and angel fish. And splashing about on the surface is the occasional sea lion.
Now scientists have confirmed what some had suspected all along. Most of the sea life was actually created at the rig rather than having come from other parts of the ocean and settled there, according to the National Academy of Sciences. And fish that would otherwise perish in vast expanses of open ocean, settle within the safety of the structures.
Like castles in an aquarium, offshore platforms are sprawling with underwater residents. Scientists say these are the richest marine ecosystems on the entire planet. They are even more productive than coral reefs and estuaries, according to marine biologists.
The first thing anyone – trained scientist or casual recreational diver – notices around a rig is the big fish -- lots of them, say marine researchers and divers, alike.
For a decade and a half, researchers used submersibles to survey fish at 16 different platforms. When the researchers tabulated the data, they were surprised to discover that, by one standard, California’s oil rigs are among the most productive marine habitats ever recorded.
At the end of their production, however, the offshore rigs must be decommissioned. Scientific insight is adding momentum to efforts to convert some of these rigs into artificial reefs […].

Sound Advice for Language Learners
1 A recent issue of a language learning magazine has
consulted a number of experts in the field of second
language acquisition. Their advice may prove invaluable for
4 those considering a language course. Ask yourself some
basic questions, they suggest. Did you enjoy studying
languages at school, for example? Can you really afford the
7 time to learn a language?
First and foremost, you have to be realistic in your
goals. If you fail to set achievable aims you are likely to give
10 up. Besides, it is worth knowing that the most expensive
courses are not necessarily the best. You should also bear in
