![Derivation (linguistics)
In linguistics, derivation is the process of forming a new word on the basis of an existing word,
e.g. happiness and unhappy from happy, or determination from determine. It often involves the
addition of a morpheme in the form of an affix, such as -ness, un- and -ation in the preceding
examples.
Derivation stands in contrast to the process of inflection, which means the formation of grammatical
variants of the sa me word, as withdetermine/determines/determining/determined.[1]

How does Sir Mador respond to Sir Patrise's death?
Why can't King Arthur represent Guinevere in a trial-by-combat? Who ends
up as her public defender initially?
When King Arthur asks Guinevere, "What aileth you . . . that ye cannot keep
Sir Lancelot upon your side," there are two ways to interpret his statement.
Do you think Malory wants us to interpret this as an example of dramatic
irony, in which we as the audience know more about Lancelot and Guinevere
than the king, and see the statement as ironic? Or do you think Malory wants
to suggest that King Arthur knows about Lancelot and Guinevere's affair?

Why does Guinevere lock herself upin the Tower of London with supplies
and food? What scandalous desire does Mordred have?
What is the Bishop's threat that he will "curse [Mordred] with book, bell, and

Lancelot gave him in the battle of Joyous Garde near Benwick. As he is

paragraph of his letter that he used what other fluid to write the letter?

Dover Castle?
Before the battle at Salisbury, Arthur has two dreams. What horrible imagery

have in his "grim host"?

![feasted Sir Gawainw ould commonly purvey for good fruit for him.
E: "Fair lords, me repenteth of this trouble,but the case is so I may not have ado in this
matter, for I must be a rightful judge. And that repenteth me that I may not do battle for my
wife, for, as I deem, this deed came never by her."
F: "What aileth you . . . that ye cannot keep Sir Lancelot upon your side?"
G: "As for our most noble King Arthur, we love him and honour him as well as ye do, but
as for Queen Guinevere, we love her not, because she is a destroyer of knights."
H: And a great fire was made about an iron stake. . . . She should there be brent; for such
custom was used in those days: for favour, love, nother affinity there should be none other
but righteous judgment, as well upon a king as upon a knight, and as well upon a queen as
upon another poor lady.
I: And afterward, he drew him unto Winchester, and there he took the queen, and said
plainly that he would wed her (which was his uncle's wife and his father's wife). [The
queen] was passing heavy, but spake fair, and agreed to [his] will.
J: "I . . . send thee greeting, letting thee to have knowledge that the tenth day of May I was
smitten upon the old wound that thou gave me afore the city of Benwick, and through that
wound I am come to my death-day. . . . Wherefore I beseech thee, to return again unto this
realm and see my tomb and pray some prayer more or less for my soul. And the date of this
letter was written with mine own hand and subscribed with part of my heart blood. And
therefore I require thee, most famous knight of the world, that thou wilt see my tomb."
K: And in his dream him seemed that he saw upon a chaflet a chair, and the chair was fast
to a wheel, and thereupon sat [the king] in the richest cloth of gold that might be made. And
the king thought there was under him, far from him, an hideous deep black water, and
therein was all manner of serpents and worms, and wild beasts, foul and horrible. And
suddenly the king though that the wheel turned upside down, and he fell among the
serpents.
L: . . . he warned all his host that an they see any sword drawn, "look ye come on fircely
and slay that traitor . . . for I in no way trust him."
M: Right so came out an adder of a little heath-bush, and it stang a knight in the foot. And
so when the knight felt him so stung, he looked down and saw the adder; and anon he drew
his sword to slay the adder, and thought him none other harm.
N: Speaker 1: "Now give me my spear for yonger I have espied teh traitor that all this woe
hath wrought."
Speaker 2: "Sir, let him be for he is unhappy. And if ye pass this unhappy day ye shall be
right well revenged. Ye have won the field; for yet we been here three on live, and with](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/derivation-150216050031-conversion-gate01/85/Derivation-6-320.jpg)
![[him] is not one of live. And therefore if ye leave off now, this wicked day of Destiny is
passed."
O. And by the way he beheld that noble sword and the pommell and the haft was all
precious stones. And then he said to himself, "If I throw this rich sword in the water, thereof
shall never come good, but harm and loss." And then [he] hid Excalibur under a tree, and so
soon as he might came again unto the king and said he had been at the water and had
thrownthe sword into the water.
P. Yet some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur not dead, but had by the
will of Lord Jesu[s] unto another place; and men say that he shall come again, and he shall
win the Holy Cross. Yet I will not say that it shall be so, but rather I would say: here in this
world he changed his life
