prefix addition
suffix addition
compounding
telescoping
shortening
back formations

Before answering the questions I would like to give a short explanation of each word formation process:

1.- Prefix addition is when a prefix is added to a word to for a new word, for example: workover we add the prefix over to form the new word overwork from the verb work.

2.-Suffix addition  for example: worker we add the prefix er to form the new word worker from the verb work.

3.- Compounding is s the word formation process in which two or more lexemes combine into a single new word. Compound words may be written as one word or as two words joined with a hyphen.

For example: dinning-table

4.- Telescoping (blending) is the process of merging parts of words into one word. For example : galumph gallop + triumph, or chortle chuckle + snort.

5.- Shortening  or clipping is the word formation process which consists in the reduction of a word to one of its parts . Clipping is also known as "truncation". for example: maths from mathematics.

6.- Back formation is the process of forming a new word (a neologism) by removing actual or supposed affixes from another word. for example:

the verb burgle from the older English noun burglar.

Now let us answer the questions:

1 = compounding

2 = compounding

3 = prefix addition

4 =  back formations

5 = prefix addition

6 = back formations

yes, post it and i can try to you out.
