INTRODUCCION
The early english chancery documentary texts in the vernacular, despite their importance for the development of modern standardenglish, have not so far been subject to much grammatical scrutiny. In general, the attention paid to those documents has concentrated, more or less systematically, on their phonological and morphological make-up in a attempt to determine their role in relation to the emergence of the modern standard english.

DERIVATION AND INFLECTION, CHARACTERISTICS
Derivation and inflection are two funtionalcategories of change in morphology (suffix, preffix, etc, are formal categories, since they refer to the form of the change). An affix or other chunk of morphology is usually either derivational or inflectional, though there ir a certain grey area between them.
Most of the affixes we are familiar with in English are derivational; English has only 8 inflectional affixes. On the other hand, all of thecommonly – studied European languages are much more inflected tan English, and most of the affixes we study in learning German, French, Spanish or Russian are inflections. It is the fact that English speakers aren`t use to using a lot of inflections that makes these languages as hard as they are for English speakers to learn. That same fact makes it a bit difficul to explain the difference.
Beloware 5 characteristics that distinguish inflections from derivations. Remerber that these can apply to any formal class – suffixes, prefixes, infixes, root change, suppletion, reduplication, etc.
DERIVATIONAL MORPHEMES
1. Can change part of speech or meaning; e.g, - ment forms nouns such as judge – ment verbs such as judge.
2. Typically indicate semantic relations within the Word, e.g, themorpheme – full in painful has no particular conection with any other morpheme in a sentence, beyond the Word painful. it self.
3. Typically occur with only some members of a class of morphemes, e.g, the suffix – Hood occurs with just a few nouns such as brother, neighbor, and knight, but not with most others, e.g, friend, daughter, candle, etc.
INFLECTIONAL MORPHEMES
1. Do not changepart of speech or meaning; e.g, big and bigger are both adjetives.
2. Typically indicate syntactic or semantic relations between different words in a sentence, e.g, the present tense morpheme – S in a waits shows agreement with the subject of the verb.
3. Tipically occur with all members of a of some large class of morphemes, e.g, the plural morpheme- S occurs with almost all count nouns inEnglish

NOMINAL GROUP
Nominal groups are groups of words that provide more information about people, places or concepts. The Depression era is an example of a nominal group because it includes more information than just the 'thing' itself: Depression classifies the particular era. Nominal groups are important because they typically provide the content in a text (what something is about); inacademic writing this content can be very sophisticated, abstract and complex.
Here are some examples of nominal groups from academic writing:
The major policy priority
The establishment of the Union Club in Sydney
The rate of economic growth
The practice of responsible government in Britain
Nominal groups in academic writing often include nominalisations. In the process of nominalisation,verbs or actions are transformed to nouns or nominal groups.
Look at the example
The company decided to expand its asset base.
The verb 'decide' can be nominalised into the noun 'the decision'
The decision to expand the asset base...
The nominalised verb then becomes the head noun of the nominal group and further explanatory or contextual information can be added to the nominal group.
