LINA01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Reduplication, Affix, Circumfix
Document Summary
Morphological analysis: find two words that are minimally different. Bound roots (bound stems): roots that aren"t free standing morphemes because they cannot appear by themselves since they don"t have any meaning. For example, receive. (cieve is a bound root). Usually these words could be divided into two morphemes, but aren"t due to a complication. The morpheme that could be considered as the second will not have a meaning. As such, there will only be one morpheme, and thus one root. For example, in the word cranberry, there is only one morpheme since cran" doesn"t have a meaning. Noun + noun cannot be a rule in english. Tree structures: show the structure of various words. Shows the constituent structure of words (internal structure) Order of rules (which morphemes combine first) Ambiguous: both forms of the tress structure are possible since the meaning is possible for both variations. Bound affixes can be categorized by position and function.
