1502521200_68758.doc survey of the linguistic literature on the problems of morphology in present day linguistics plan: 1 the problem of morphology as the study of the word structure in modern english 2 the study of the notional parts of speech in modern english grammar 3 the problem of the adjective as a notional part of speech in modern english 1 the problem of morphology as the study of the word structure in modern english morphology is the study of the structure of words. the name comes from greek morphos (=shape or form). the smallest units of meaning may be whole simple words (e.g. man, run, big) or parts of complex words (e.g. un-, -faith- and -ful in unfaithful) which are called morphemes. some morphemes, such as faith in un-faith-ful or dream in dream-ing can stand alone as words which make sense. these are known as free morphemes. you will see …

cted - altered by adding a suffix). other compound or complex words are made by adding together elements without reference to the internal grammar of a sentence. for example, the verb infect suggests a new verb disinfect (=to undo the action of infecting). new words are often formed by noun + -ize, noun + ism, or verb + able (scandalize, stalinism, disposable). the study of such words, "derived" from existing words or morphemes is derivational morphology. the elements of which the word is made may have a grammatical relationship within the word (you may find this idea difficult), but their formation is independent of the syntax of the clause or sentence in which they occur. if you find this puzzling, two things may help: inflectional morphology is much easier to recognize. a relatively small number of types of inflection (showing number or tense, say) covers most cases. all compound and …

e structure of words. the structure of words can also be studied to show how the meaning of a given morpheme, or its relation to the rest of the word, varies from one complex word to another. consider how sun works in the following words: sunbeam, sunburnt, sundial, sunflower, sunglasses, sunlight, sunrise, sun-spot (scientific sense), sun-spot (tourist sense), suntan. inflection does not really yield “new” words, but alters the form of existing ones for specific reasons of grammar. derivation, on the other hand, does lead to the creation of new words. david crystal lists four normal processes of word-formation, of which three are examples of derivation: four kinds of word-formation prefixation (derivational) suffixation (derivational) compounding (derivational) conversion (not derivational) affix placed before base of word, e.g. disobey affix placed after base of word, e.g. kindness two base forms are added together, e.g. blackbird word changes class, without any change of …

which no new words can normally be added. these are words (prepositions and conjunctions) which make connections (connectives or connectors), pronouns and words (including articles) like the, some, each that co-occur with nouns - these are called determiners. other classes of word are constantly being added to. each contains a vast number of terms already. they are open to new words being introduced. the open classes are nouns, verbs and the words which qualify them, adjectives and adverbs. these form the bulk of a language's vocabulary or lexis (also lexicon, though this sometimes refers to a published version). these classes may be called lexical whereas the closed-class words are structural or functional . these tables illustrate the two kinds of word class. closed word classes determiner pronoun preposition conjunction a, the, any, my, those, which she, them, who, that, himself in, across, at, by, near, within and, but, if, or, …

, because any word which defies classification will be put in it! among words which have sometimes been classified as adverbs are the following: however, just, no, not, quickly, tomorrow and when. this incoherence has long been recognized by grammarians who subdivide adverbs into further categories, such as adverbs of time, place or manner. in trying to organize words into coherent classes, linguists will consider any or all of the following: what they mean (semantics), their form (morphology), provenance (historical origin) and function in a phrase, clause or sentence (syntax) . some words, such as numbers, do not fit in any of the word classes given above. they can behave as adjectives (one loaf or two?) or pronouns (i want one now!). and no one description of word classes is regarded as finally authoritative. some classes (such as verbs or conjunctions) are fairly coherent. you should be able to discuss …
