very nice video, but there is a small mistake at 8:10:
xerox is not a very good example for back-formation, since back formation means that you remove an affix and then the word class changes (like television becomse televise)
to xerox is more a conversion (or zero-derivation): changing from one word class to another without any affixing.
xerox is also a coinage!
i am studying for a linguistics exam, that is why i am so picky about that :)
Thanks a lot. That's a great help for one of my students specially the diagrams and the table of examples. Why don't you make some videos about linguistics. You have introduced the lesson perfectly. Ahmed Amin ESL High School Teacher in KSA.
