====Word-building by analogy====
Gode and Hugh E. Blair explained in the [[Interlingua: A Grammar of the International Language|Interlingua Grammar]] that the ''basic principle of practical word-building'' is analogical. If a pattern can be found in the existing international vocabulary, new words can be formed according to that pattern. A meaning of the suffix {{lang|ia|-ista}} is 'person who practices the art or science of....' This suffix allows the derivation of {{lang|ia|biologista}} from {{lang|ia|biologia}}, {{lang|ia|physicista}} from {{lang|ia|physica}}, and so on. An Interlingua speaker can freely form {{lang|ia|saxophonista}} from {{lang|ia|saxophone}} and {{lang|ia|radiographista}} from {{lang|ia|radiographia}} by following the same pattern.
