Study Notes
Morphology
Definition
- Study of the internal structure of words and how they are formed
- Examines the rules governing the combination of morphemes (smallest units of language) to create words
Morphemes
- Free morphemes: standalone words with meaning (e.g., run, dog)
- Bound morphemes: cannot stand alone, must be combined with other morphemes to convey meaning (e.g., -ed, -ing)
- Prefixes: attached to the beginning of a word (e.g., un-, re-)
- Suffixes: attached to the end of a word (e.g., -ly, -ful)
- Infixes: inserted within a word (e.g., um- in "conumble")
- Circumfixes: surround a word or part of a word (e.g., ge-...-en in "gegobern")
Types of Morphological Operations
- Inflectional morphology: changes the grammatical function of a word without changing its core meaning (e.g., adding -ed to create past tense)
- Derivational morphology: changes the core meaning of a word (e.g., adding -ness to create a noun)
- Compounding: combining two or more words to create a new word (e.g., blackboard)
Morphological Analysis
- Decomposition: breaking down a word into its constituent morphemes
- Morpheme identification: identifying the individual morphemes and their meanings
- Morphological rules: rules governing the combination of morphemes to form words
Theoretical Approaches
- Item-and-Arrangement approach: focuses on the arrangement of morphemes to form words
- Item-and-Process approach: focuses on the rules and processes governing morpheme combination
- Lexical Morphology: emphasizes the role of the lexicon in shaping morphological patterns
Morphology
Definition and Scope
- Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words and how they are formed.
- Examines the rules governing the combination of morphemes (smallest units of language) to create words.
Morphemes: Building Blocks of Words
- Free morphemes: standalone words with meaning (e.g., run, dog).
- Bound morphemes: cannot stand alone, must be combined with other morphemes to convey meaning (e.g., -ed, -ing).
- Prefixes: attached to the beginning of a word (e.g., un-, re-).
- Suffixes: attached to the end of a word (e.g., -ly, -ful).
- Infixes: inserted within a word (e.g., um- in "conumble").
- Circumfixes: surround a word or part of a word (e.g., ge-...-en in "gegobern").
