    Morphology Presentation

    This document provides an introduction to morphology, which is the study of word formation and structure. It discusses key concepts such as inflection versus derivation, word formation processes like affixation and compounding, and grammatical versus lexical morphemes. Inflection produces different forms of the same word, while derivation creates new words or lexemes. Affixes like prefixes and suffixes can be added to word roots to change the meaning or category of a word. Allomorphs refer to a single morpheme that has multiple phonological forms. The document contrasts inflection and derivation in terms of meaning changes, systems, and relationships to sentence structure.

    Introduction to Morphology

    Whatis
    morphology?
    Morphology

    Inflection Wordformation

    Derivation Compounding

    Affixation Other 1or2 free roots

    redup conversion
    prefix suffix infix

    +/- class-changing
    Lexeme (lemma)
     We can begin with a rough conception
    of forms that a word can take on while
    still being the same word --
     One entry in the dictionary for sing,
    sang, sung, another for singer.
     Alternate forms of the same lexeme are
    formed by inflectional morphology; if
    there is a common (fixed) form, it’s
    called the inflectional stem.
    Derivational morphology
     Forms new words (new lexemes) from other
    words. Typically, the meaning changes.
    (When does it not? No problemo! )
     The change in meaning can be subtle,
    difficult to make explicit; conditions on the
    base may be complex; each suffix has its
    history --
     Unlike the case of inflectional morphology.
    Grammatical vs lexical
    morphemes
     When we can identify a word (or a part
    of a word) as being a morphological
    constituent and being composed of two
    morphemes,
     we can identify one of them as the base
    and the other the affix.
     Except when…. (compounds,
    reduplication, …)
    Lexical morpheme
     When a word consists of one
    morpheme, it is a lexical morpheme.
     When it consists of two morphemes, it
    is the base: that which is not the affix.
    Derivational morphology
     Deals with the relationship between
    morphologically simple forms -- roots --
    and more complex forms which are
    distinct lexemes.
    Allomorphs: a single morpheme
    with more than one phonological
    realization. say/sez. a/an. Often
    the result of history of the
    language.
    inflection derivation
    produces word forms of a produces new lexemes
    single lexeme
    involves few variables of a may involve many variables in an open
    closed system system
    high commutability within low commutability within the word form
    the word-form
    low commutability within high commutability within the sentence
    the sentence
    marks agreement does not mark agreement
    further from the root than closer to the root than inflection
    derivation
    cannot be replaced by a often can be replaced by a single root form
    single root form
    no gaps gaps in a paradigm, or just gaps
    semantically regular semantically irregular
    Roots and affixes: complex
    words consist often of a root plus
    affixes. Prefixes, suffixes. The
    category of the word may be
    determined by either -- though
    it's typically the affix, not the
    base.
    Question

    1. Can you mention one difference


    between Inflection and Derivation?
    2. Word formation are divided into two
    parts, what are they?
    3. What is Allomorphs?
    tnx u love
