黏著法構詞

黏著法構詞（agglutination、黏著語法構詞）是一種語言學上的词法学之構詞程序，其中復合詞是將語素串在一起而不用改變其拼寫或語音。廣泛使用黏著法構詞特性的語言稱為黏着语。黏著法構詞的語言中之一語種即土耳其語，比如：黏著法構詞詞彙“evlerinizden”意思為“從你那些房子”這個詞組成的語素是含有多個個別意思的詞素，解析為〈ev-ler-iniz-den〉結構分解之意思為〈房子－(複數/那些)－你的－從〉。

后缀与前缀
尽管欧洲和亚洲多数黏着语主要使用后缀，但非洲南部的班图语言以高度复杂的混合前缀、后缀和重叠而闻名。这个语族的一个典型特征是名词都归类为不同的名词类别。对于每个名词类别，都有特定的单数和复数前缀，它们也作为主语和动词之间一致性的标记。此外，名词决定修饰它的所有词的前缀，主语也决定同一动词短语中其它元素的前缀。

例如，斯瓦希里语名词 -toto（儿童）和 -tu（人）归类为类别1，单数前缀为 m-，复数前缀为 -wa。名词 -tabu（书）归类为类别7，单数前缀为 ki-，复数前缀为 vi-。下列句子可形成：

 那个高个的人读了长书。

`那两个高个人读了那些长书。
