Morphology is the identification, analysis and description of the structure of words (words as units in the lexicon are the subject matter of lexicology). While words are generally accepted as being (with clitics) the smallest units of syntax, it is clear that in most (if not all) languages, words can be related to other words by rules. For example, English speakers recognize that the words dog, dogs, and dog catcher are closely related. English speakers recognize these relations from their tacit knowledge of the rules of word formation in English. They infer intuitively that dog is to dogs as cat is to cats; similarly, dog is to dog catcher as dish is to dishwasher (in one sense). The rules understood by the speaker reflect specific patterns (or regularities) in the way words are formed from smaller units and how those smaller units interact in speech. In this way, morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies patterns of word formation within and across languages, and attempts to formulate rules that model the knowledge of the speakers of those languages. HistoryThe history of morphological analysis dates back to the ancient Indian linguist Pāṇini, who formulated the 3,959 rules of Sanskrit morphology in the text Aṣṭādhyāyī by using a Constituency Grammar. The Greco-Roman grammatical tradition also engaged in morphological analysis. Studies in Arabic morphology, conducted by Marāḥ al-arwāḥ and Aḥmad b. ‘alī Mas‘ūd, date back to at least 1200 CE. The term morphology was coined by August Schleicher in 1859. Fundamental conceptsFrom Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Phonology, Morphology Linguistics HELP!!!? Q. Give two different morphological structures of the word unlockable in tree form. You should show for each part of the word (each node in the tree) whether it is a noun, adjective, verb, or prefix. Remember that suffixes count as nouns, adjective or verbs according to the part of speech of the bigger word they produce. For each of the two structures you gave for unlockable, illustrate that structure by showing how unlockable under that structure is used in a sentence, and discussing its meaning. Asked by Hamza - Wed Feb 25 17:25:05 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I can't do a tree, but I'll try to write it down: Either un-lockable (meaning unable to lock) (This tree would have 'lock' and 'able' joining to a node and this node joining to a higher node encompassing 'un-') or unlock-able (able to unlock) (This tree would have 'un' and 'lock' joining to a node and this node joining to a higher node encompassing '-able') un- and -able are both affixes (prefix and a suffix) and lockable is an adjective, while unlock is a verb. Sentences: 1. He was afraid of being burgled and wanted to lock the door, but the door was un(-)lockable. He had to leave it open. 2. Alice tried to enter the room, but the door was locked. She knew it was unlock(-)able; if only she could find the key. Hope this… [cont.] Answered by MountainDew - Sun Mar 1 04:59:43 2009 Morphology (linguistics)? Q.

Answered by Elena S - Sat Mar 14 04:45:07 2009 What degree should I go for to get into the translating/interpreting field?
Q. I would like to go for a degree that would get my foot in the door for a translating/interpreting foreign languages career, but really don't know what to go with. I don't want to learn just one language, I'd like to learn 3 or 4, and I really don't want to learn a bunch of the native literature. I'd like to learn the modern tongues, and that's about it. I can't really find anything up this ally other then single language majors, or linguistics. Is it possible to triple or quadruple major in say French, Spanish, Portuguese, and maybe something else? Or would linguistics be better? I really don't care much about syntax and morphology and all that, though. Or maybe I should go with something like engineering and just load up on… [cont.] Asked by A Great Big Sled - Wed Sep 20 10:01:32 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Perhaps you need to decide first exactly what it is that you want to do... To answer your actual question, I would suggest that you take a degree in either one, or at the most, two languages. The level of competency required for translating/interpreting is such that most practitioners specialise in only one or, occasionally, two languages. I have been at many conferences where simultaneous translations are provided, and the people who do this are absolutely superb. There is no place for someone who is merely 'good' - you will need to be excellent!
