Document Summary

Morphology assignment: interview 3 english speakers (native or not) for your consultants. Create new or seldom used compound words and ask the consultants what they think of the words and how they would like to pluralize it. Compound word vs two different words generally relies on pronunciation. Black board (a board that is black) contains two stresses. Blackboard (a board in a classroom) contains only one main stress in pronunication. Head: the word on the farthest right is the core member and determines the category of the entire word. Follow the right hand head rule for this. However, this rule does not apply to opaque compounds. Modifier: modifies the head noun, will generally appear on the left of the word. A compound can be interpreted with a wide variety of meanings depending on the person or context. Jabberwocky poem: originally created in the alice in wonderland books. The words are made up, but are set in english.
