description	Apply Oiticica's word formation concept in modern English with concise rules, objective rubrics, and concrete contrast.

Oiticica Word Formation

Use this skill when reviewing or rewriting English prose where word formation is the controlling issue.

Source concept: Deformation is an error in the form of a word.

Rules

• Find wrong inflections, malformed derivatives, false stems, and invented forms that violate English morphology.
• Prefer the established English form unless a technical coinage is needed and well formed.
• Do not call a dialect form wrong when dialect is part of the assignment.
• Explain the stem, suffix, or inflection that fixes the word.

Review Shape

Use the source-model shape for strong models:

Principle:
<oiticica-word-formation: one sentence naming the concept>

Preserve:
<supplied example text>

Why:
<why the model satisfies the concept>

Rubric:
<at least two objective checks, each marked Pass or Fail>

Use the repair shape for weak passages:

Principle:
<oiticica-word-formation: one sentence naming the concept>

Weak:
<small passage or paraphrase>

Fault:
<name the exact broken relation>

Better:
<corrected version>

Why:
<explain how the revision restores the relation>

Rubric:
<at least two objective checks, each marked Pass or Fail>

Start Principle with the exact skill name oiticica-word-formation. If the prompt says source-model or source-model paraphrase, copy the supplied example in Preserve and do not use repair headings.

Objective Rubric

• The faulty form is identified.
• The replacement is a real or defensible English word.
• The explanation names the morphological pattern.
• The sentence keeps its intended meaning.

Pass only when every applicable check passes. If correctness fails, fix or name that failure before judging style.

English Rule

Apply modern English grammar, punctuation, morphology, idiom, and prosody. Do not transfer Portuguese orthography or grammar into English.

Source Boundary

Source notes live in references/notes.md. Do not invent source quotations. If an example is labeled as a paraphrase or invented passage, preserve that boundary in the review. When a task asks for a Preserve section, copy the supplied example text exactly; do not replace it with imagined source prose.
