ESSENTIALS OF MORPHOLOGY Morphology is concerned with the elements that compose words and the ESSENTIALS OF MORPHOLOGY Morphology is concerned with the elements that compose words and the organization of these elements into hierarchical structures. A word is an arbitrary pairing of sound and meaning (But see discussion in Baker & Bobaljik (2000))

INFLECTIONAL AND DERIVATIONAL MORPHOLOGY Two main fields are traditionally recognized within morphology Inflectional morphology INFLECTIONAL AND DERIVATIONAL MORPHOLOGY Two main fields are traditionally recognized within morphology Inflectional morphology studies the way in which words vary (or ‘inflect’) in order to express grammatical contrasts in sentences such as singular/plural or past/present tense. Examples of inflectional morphology: boy vs boy-s child vs. child-r-en love vs. love-s vs. goe-s vs. love-d went Derivational morphology studies the principles governing the constructions of new words, without reference to the specific grammatical role a word may play in a sentence. Examples of derivational morphology: drink vs. drink-able inflect vs, dis-infect

THE NOTION OF MORPHEME Morphemes are the structural units of words (see Appendix I) THE NOTION OF MORPHEME Morphemes are the structural units of words (see Appendix I) MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS In analyzing words into morphemes in a language we know, we often easily discover the separate parts because we can recall similar words with which to compare the words under analysis. In working with an unfamiliar language, it is necessary to have a group of similar forms to compare and from which to extract the recurring parts. A form from Kekchi (a Mayan language of Guatemala) (4) tinbeq 'I will walk. ' (cf. Nida (1949, 6) To decide on a division of this form into smaller units, or even to know if such a division is possible, we have to consider other forms of the language. Comparison with forms such as tatbeq 'you (sg. ) will walk' and ninbeq 'I am walking' show that the form tinbeq is composed of three morphemes: t- 'future' (contrasting with n- 'present progressive'), -in- 'first person singular subject' (contrasting with -at- 'second person singular subject') and -beq 'walk. ’

ROOTS AND STEMS Roots The root is generally the principle carrier of the lexical ROOTS AND STEMS Roots The root is generally the principle carrier of the lexical meaning of a word, while affixes generally carry grammatical meanings. For example, in cats, the root carries the basic meaning Felis domesticus, while -s carries the grammatical information 'plural. ' In some languages, roots characteristically occur in a particular position. In Turkish and Eskimo, the root occupies the first position in a word. Stems In addition to roots, we also distinguish stems. A stem may be also a root, as cat in cats. Often, a stem consists of a root plus something else. The present tense of the Latin verb amo@ 'love' is formed from the root am- plus theme vowel -a@ plus the person-number suffixes.

BOUND AND FREE MORPHEMES: Bound morphemes do not occur in isolation. Root that may BOUND AND FREE MORPHEMES: Bound morphemes do not occur in isolation. Root that may constitute words by themselves: (9) gentle, usurp, difficult, dog, man Bound stems/roots (cf Aronoff (1976): (10) -ceive -port im-port re-ceive re-port -here -mit in-here ad-here re-mit ad-mit

AFFIXES: Prefixes = a ff. + X and Suffixes = X + aff. Affixes AFFIXES: Prefixes = a ff. + X and Suffixes = X + aff. Affixes commonly determine the lexical category of the word that they form: ex. : a word formed with the suffix -ion is a noun a word formed with the suffix -ize is a verb Affixes are not freely combinable: (11) seren-ity *shop-ity * proverb-ity *machin-ity regular-ize scandal-ize *usurp-ize *develop-ize Reason: -ity is added to adjectives, but not to nouns or verbs -ize is added to adjectives and nouns, but not to verbs

Open and closed classes of morphems: A count of the morphemes in any language Open and closed classes of morphems: A count of the morphemes in any language will reveal many more root morphemes than affixes. The set of affixes is closed and can only rarely gain or lose members. The set of roots is open, and a normal speaker of a language adds new roots to his lexicon throughout his life.
