4.4 Partly Correpondence
The partly correspondence of two or more languages which is contrasted may be found if they have the similarities but not in whole part. In this analysis, I find the
partly correspondence in terms of the distributions and meanings notions. The distributions deal with the types of the word-class category of the bases which can be
attached by the affixes, but The notions deal with the meaning of the affixes after being attached to the base forms
In term of the distribution, the English and Karonese prefixes and suffixes have the similarities, but not in whole parts. The English prefixes and suffixes cannot
be attached to the numeral to form the verbs, but the Karonese prefix can be attached to numeral to form the verbs
In the term of meaning notion , the English and Karonese prefixes and suffixes also have the similarities, but no in whole parts. In English and Karonese,
there are prefixes or suffixes that state the similar meaning but not in the whole meanings.
