M o r p h o l o g y• Study of words and word formation
• Example: how we form plurals:
– cat cats
– meemeetmeemeets

Wo r d s• Word = smallest free form
• Free = not fixed toa certain position
– Rhino is weird.
– Is Rhino weird?
• “Rhino” is a word
![Page 4: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Wo r d s• What about this?
– Bolt runs.
– *-S Bolt run.
• “-S” ≠ word
![Page 5: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
I s o l a t i o n• Words can occur in isolation
– Person A: What movie did you watch?
– Person B: Bolt.
– Person A: Cool.
• “Bolt” and “cool” are words.
![Page 6: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
I s o l a t i o n• What about this?
– Person A: What movie did you watch?
– Person B: -S.
– Person A: What? That’s not a word!
• “-S” ≠ word
![Page 7: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
I s o l a t i o n• A word must be a free form
• Doesn’t have to be isolated:
– Person A: Are they happy?
– Person B: *Are.
![Page 8: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
M o r p h e m e s• Words sometimes have smaller parts
• Called morphemes
• Morpheme = smallest unit of meaning
![Page 9: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
M o r p h e m e s• Teacher = teach + er
• “Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge
• “er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone who does the verb (someone who teaches)
![Page 10: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
M o r p h e m e s• Languages = ?
• Languages = language + s
– “language” meaning medium of communication
– “s” makes the noun plural
![Page 11: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
M o r p h e m e s• Human = ?
• Is it “hu” + “man”?
Hu man
![Page 12: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

M o r p h e m e s• Some words are morphemes
• “Human” is a word of one morpheme
• One morpheme words are simple words
• Two or more morpheme words are complex words
![Page 14: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
M o r p h e m e s• No single part of “human” contributes to its
meaning
• i.e., “hu”, “hum”, “huma”, “u”, “um”, “uma”, “uman”, “m”, “ma”, “man”, “a”, “an”, “n”have no meaning related to “human”
![Page 15: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
M o r p h e m e s• Free and bound
• Free morphemes can be isolated
– Trains = train + s
• Bound morphemes cannot
– Trains = train + s
![Page 16: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

C o m p l e x Wo r d s• Typically contain root morpheme and affixes
• Root types (lexical categories) include

A f f i x e s• = Bound morphemes
• Attached to base
• If before, then prefix
• If after, then suffix
![Page 19: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

I n f i x e s• Affix inside of a morpheme = infix
• Very rare in English
![Page 21: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
I n f i x e s• Example infix: frickin’
• Massachusetts + frickin’ (as infix):
– Massafrickinchusetts
• Commercial + frickin’ (as infix):
– Comfrickinmercial
![Page 22: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
I n f i x e s• Is there a rule for where “frickin’” is placed?
• More examples:
– *Massachufrickinsetts
– *Commerfrickincial

I n f i x e s• “Frickin’” infix placed before primary stress
• So…
– Introfrickinduction
• But!
– Frickininfixes (“prefix”)
![Page 24: Morphology - MIT ESP · PDF file•“Teach” w/ a meaning of giving knowledge •“er” makes the verb a noun meaning someone ... Singular Plural ... The Universal One takes his](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5aabc0897f8b9a59658c3aa1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

S u m m a r y• Morphology = study of words and word
formation
• Words made up of morphemes
• Affixes make complex words
• Compounds made up of 2+ words
• Inflection = morphological change to reflect grammatical change
