  1. Morphology: The Words of LAnguage Gilmara Johnson Mariana De Luca Stacy Feldstein

  2. Homework • At your table, discuss your responses for the questions and answers you chose from the homework. 7 minutes

  3. Morphology: The study of the structure of words PAGE 34 (add a line more) (I need a check) (more emissions) (lowest bidder) (margin of error) (pick up and drop off) (Do we cheat 'em? And how!) • Copyeditor: Adeline Moore • Accounts payable: Ineeda Czech • Pollution control: Maury Missions • Purchasing: Lois Bidder • Statistician: Marge Innovera • Russian chauffeur: Picov Andropov • Legal firm: Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe

  4. Content Words and Function Words

  5. What kinds of words is he talking about, “content” or “function”?

  6. Segmenting Sounds THECATSONTHEMAT VS. UNCHARACTERISTICALLY

  7. Jigsaw Reading • Read your section and prepare to present a poster with the main ideas to the class. • Group 1: Morphemes: The Minimal Units of Meaning (pp.36-38) • Group 2: Bounds and Free morphemes (pp. 39-42) • Group 3: Roots and Stems, Bound Roots (pp.42-44) • Group 4: Rules of word formation, Derivational Morphology (pp. 44-46) • Group 5: Inflectional Morphology (pp. 46-49) • Group 6: Compounds (pp.57)

  8. Graphic Organizer • As groups present, use you graphic organizer to take notes on the “Description” section. • At your tables, use you notes to discuss and complete the “classroom applications” section. You can explain how morphological knowledge affects language teaching or you can design a teaching activity that would help students learn that morphological aspect of language. • Share with the class: Pick one concept (different from the one you presented) to show how it applies to teaching ELLs.

  9. Main Divisions of Word Classes (Parts of Speech): • Nouns • Verbs • Adjectives • Adverbs • Content Words • Function Words • Conjunctions • Prepositions • Articles • Pronouns

  10. Exercise: Determine the word class of each of the following words Noun Article Pronoun Adjective Noun Adverb Verb Conjunction Preposition • canine • the • him • elegant • inconvenience • eloquently • comply • inasmuch as • over

  11. Morpheme: The minimal unit of meaning Free morpheme: a single morpheme that constitutes a word and can stand alone. Bound morpheme: a morpheme that must be attached to another morpheme.

  12. Question #2a, b, i, j, k, l, m Example: • Retroactive = retro + act + ive Free morpheme = act Bound morphemes = retro-, -ive

  13. English Affixes(based on the position) Prefix: An affix that occurs before a morpheme Suffix: An affix that occurs after a morpheme

  14. English Prefixes Examples of Negative Prefixes: un- non- dis- a- Examples of size and degree prefixes: mini- sub- over- super-

  15. English Suffixes Class preserving suffixation: -er  lecturer -ian librarian -ist  scientist -let  piglet • Class changing suffixation: • Verb  Noun • perform performance • Adjective  Adverb • nice  nicely • Adjective  Noun • active  activity

  16. Affixes(based on the function) Inflections vs. Derivations

  17. Definition • Derivational morpheme: deriving (creating) a new word with a new meaning. • Inflectional morpheme: changing the form of a word because of the rules of syntax.

  18. English Inflectional Morphemes Nouns –s plural –’s possessive Verbs –s third person singular present –ed past tense –en past participle –ing progressive Adjectives –er comparative –est superlative

  19. Some examples of English Derivational Morpheme • -ic : Noun  Adj ; alcohol  alcoholic • -ance : Verb  Noun ; clear  clearance • -ly : Adj  Adv ; exact  exactly • -ity : Adj  Noun ; active  activity • -able : Verb  Adj ; read  readable • -ship : Noun  Noun ; friend  friendship • re- : Verb  Verb ; cover  recover • in- : Adj  Adj ; definite  indefinite

  20. Describe the italic affixes: Derivational prefix Inflectional suffix Derivational suffix Inflectional suffix Derivational prefix Derivational suffix Inflectional suffix • impossible • terrorized • terrorize • desks • dislike • humanity • fastest

  21. Describe the italic affixes: premature untie darken fallen oxen faster lecturer Derivational prefix Derivational prefix Derivational suffix Inflectional suffix Inflectional suffix Inflectional suffix Derivational suffix
