  5. Phonetics- the study of the physical aspects of sounds of human language Phonology - the study of patterns of a language's sounds Morphology - the study of the internal structure of words Syntax - the study of how words combine to form grammatical sentences Semantics - the study of the meaning of words (lexical semantics) and fixed word combinations (phraseology), and how these combine to form the meanings of sentences Words as units in the lexicon are the subject matter of lexicology. Morphology 1

  6. SENTENCE the highest grammatical unit Morphology 1

  7. SENTENCE CLAUSE (s) Clause elements Phrase (s) (group of words) Word (s) Morpheme (s) Morphology 1

  8. Morphology meaningful units. Morphology 1

  9. and • to • desk Morphology 1

  10. raincoatrain + coat readerread + -er untieun- + tie. Morphology 1

  11. Morphemes Meaningful elements smaller than the words . Morphology 1

  12. HELPFULNESS FUL NESS HELP CORE, ROOT Morphology 1

  13. FREE MORPHEMES • BOUND MORPHEMES Morphology 1

  14. Morphological structure of words is largely independent of their phonological structure catamaranknickerbocker Tenths - (ten, -th, -s) Morphology 1

  15. BOUND MORPHEMES Prefixes En -large Suffixes Perform –ance AFFIXES Morphology 1

  16. Only root morphemes can be free, so affixes are neccessarily bound. • The roots are not always free. BOUND ROOTS FREE ROUTS Audi-ence hear-ing Leg-ible read-able Magn-ify en-large Clar-ity white-ness Morphology 1

  17. There also exist words which contain more than one root. • The ones formed out of two or more free roots are called COMPOUNDS • BOOKCASE, MOTORBIKE, PENKNIFE, TRUCK-DRIVER Morphology 1

  18. A word can also consist of two or more bound roots • ELECTROLYSIS, MICROSCOPY, ECHINODERM. • Other words which contain one bound and one free morpheme • MICROFILM, ELECTROMETER. Morphology 1

  19. MORPHEMES • inflectional work – work(-s) work – work (-ed) • paradigm • derivational Morphology 1

  20. Analytical process: Synthetical process: Doctor doktor To a doctork doktorovi Morphology 1

  21. many morphemes have two or more different pronounciations called ALLOMORPHS Morphology 1

  22. (-s) , • three pronounciations: • (s) as in cats or lamps • (z) as in dogs or days • (iz or ez) as in horses or judges Morphology 1
