A language model encounters an unfamiliar word, 'unsustainabilization'. Which mechanism explains how the model can still attempt to derive meaning?

💡 Explanation

The model can attempt meaning derivation through morphological decomposition and affix analysis because it breaks down the word into recognizable morphemes (un-, sustain, -abil, -ize, -ation). Therefore, the model can infer a possible meaning rather than relying solely on pre-existing definitions.
