What is the process called: collection of distinct elements
Set Construction / Set Formation
Permutation → Order matters
Combination → Order does not matter
With and Without Repetition
Different permutations of letters = different lexical items

Permutations
List of all possible affixes or inflections attached to a root:
Root + {plural, tense, aspect, case} = combination set
Permutations → generate possible strings
Combinations → choose subsets of letters/morphemes
| Concept | Order Matters? | Lexicography Role |
|---|---|---|
| Permutation | Yes | Word ordering, dictionary sorting, multiword units |
| Combination | No | Semantic groupings, collocations, lexical sets |
PERMUTATIONS (Order Matters)
1. Without Repetition
P(n, r) = n! / (n - r)!
2. With Repetition
P_rep(n, r) = nr
COMBINATIONS (Order Does NOT Matter)
3. Without Repetition
C(n, r) = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
4. With Repetition
C_rep(n, r) = C(n + r - 1, r)
= (n + r - 1)! / (r! (n - 1)!)

Permutations of n items taken 2 at a time, with repetition:
P(n, 2) with repetition = n × n
