Abstract: English Back-formation Words have gained rapid development and much attention since World War II. Back-formation is the process of creating a shorter lexeme by removing an imagined affix from the already existed longer word. For example, televise is back-formed from television by deleting the supposed suffix -ion. This paper attempts to illustrate the function of analogy in the formation process of back-formation words, and finds that analogy helps produce both regularities and irregularities of back-formation.
Key words: back-formation; analogy; regularities; irregularities
