Final answer:
This answer details how specific prefixes, bases, and suffixes are combined to form words where palatalization and assimilation affect spelling, such as [ch] being spelled , and appearing due to changes in prefixes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Parsing Words with Specific Spelling Patterns
When combining prefixes, bases, and suffixes to form new words, certain spelling changes can occur. Here, we will look at specific instances where the combination of these elements leads to palatalization, resulting in the [ch] sound being spelled , and other cases where assimilation affects the word's spelling.
Palatalization: [ch] Spelled
dis + gest + ion = digestion (The in 'digestion' represents the [ch] sound due to palatalization.)
spirit + ual = spiritual (No change in spelling, but 'ual' is a suffix.)
question + er = questioner (Suffix 'er' added without spelling change.)
act + ual + ly = actually (Suffix 'ly' added to form an adverb from 'actual'.)
ad + vent + ure + ous = adventurous (Suffix 'ous' added to form an adjective from 'adventure'.)
script + ure + al = scriptural (Suffix 'al' added to form an adjective from 'scripture'.)
liter + ate + ure = literature (Here 'ure' is a suffix that completes the noun 'literature'.)
Additionally, assimilation in prefixes can change the spelling of words:
Assimilation with prefix com- changing to col-
Assimilation with prefix ad- changing to al-
Assimilation with prefix in- changing to il-
