DANCE 3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Bound And Unbound Morphemes, Word Formation, Walkman
Document Summary
Can also be a bound morpheme in some cases (bound bases, discussed later) Typically, are open class words: affixes: a bound morpheme that attaches to a root morpheme, prefix(beginning) --- suffix(end) --- infix(attached within another morpheme, a. isolating languages. A language in which each word typically consists of a single morpheme: synthetic languages. Words are made up of several morphemes. But there are no clear morpheme boundaries. 10. (1) derivational affixes: affixes that change the meaning and/or the part of speech of the base. (2) inflectional affixes: affixes that do not change the meaning or part of speech of the base. Derivational affixes are closer to the base than inflectional affixes. Inflectional affixes are more productive than derivational affixes. Verbs that take able are transitive verbs. Verbs that do not take able are intransitive verbs. A+b compound is a sub-type of b. The final element is the head, and the other element provides information about the head: exocentric compounds: (walkman)
