Document Summary
Lecture notes - intro to language & linguistics. Typology: languages fall on a continuum of how many morphemes are allowed per word: analytic languages are morphologically simple -- each word is only made of 1 or 2 morphemes, very little internal structure to analyze. Types of synthetic languages: agglutinating: the individual morphemes are joined together in a word, but the segmentation is obvious, ex: latin, turkish. 5+ morphemes: little distinction between word-level and sentence-level meanings, ex: yupick, eskimo, can also use shorter words for similar concepts. There are two separate dimensions upon which language-types vary: analytic--to-synthetic: how many morphemes are there per word? (1-5+, isolating-to-fusional: how many meanings reside in each. Form variance /in/ [i , im, il, etc] It is not the same as phonological assimilation: allomorphs are stored in the lexicon and applies to speci c morphemes, whereas low-level phonetic co-articulation always applies.
