Hi Rabea, you are perfectly right. It needs explanation to understand. I just want the students to think about those morphological problems and come out with their own explanations if possible.I am happy that students show great interest in linguistics. So keep goingggggggggggg..........
Hello sir thank you so match for your great job and it is really brillent idea that makes me understand more and thak you again for every thing because Iam really enjoy with the lecture
Hi Aisha, I am really happy to hear that you enjoy the lectures on Theoretical Linguistics. As a teacher it's my duty to motivate my students and keep their excitement up in knowing and learning new things. Your responses in the blog is an encouragement. keep respondingggggggggggg..........
Hi, problems in morphological description: 1 plural form: some words like sheep which don't have plural forms cause a problem in describing it ,in this case the plural forms are represnted through zero morph( Morph is the actual form or identifiable morpheme) sheep+zero morph the words which have irregular plural e.x man→men goose →geese have a vowel change a→e oo→ee these words have only one morph because the plural morpheme is invisible. 2.Past tense:usually the past tense is indicated by "ed" form but some verbs don't follow the same pattern like read→read cut →cut the past tense form seem to be zero morpheme because past tense form of read, cut is actually read, cut. also other verbs have especial pattern like go in order to produce past form went ( the past form "ed" of went is unidentifiable . 3.Noun→adjective: low→legal mouth→oral there is no derivational relationship between the noun law and the adjective legal , nor between the noun mouth and the adjective oral this morphological description is based on borrowing elements of Latin and Greek.
Hi Summaya, you have explained the morphological problems extremely well. Wish, if you could think of solutions to some of those above mentioned problems, it may help your classmates. Keep motivating everyone........
Hi, solutions to some of these problems there is no relationship between law and legal is a reflection of the historical influence and borrowing elements of different languages the noun law has been borrowed from Scandinavian source and adjective legal has been borrowed from Latin so there is no relation between them As we know that (al) suffix is added to the words in order to change their meaning but there are exceptions e.x in the word legal " al" isn't suffix , it is an original part of the word.
Hi Modee, yes, you are right. These problems can better be solved only when one understands the origin, history and borrowed elements of these words. Keep the good work goinggggggggg.........
I'm so happy teacher by this way. it's very useful^^
ReplyDeleteThat seems perfect but I think it still needs more explanation ( to be clear).
ReplyDeleteThanks a billion sir.

DeleteHi, problems in morphological description:
ReplyDelete1 plural form: some words like sheep which don't have plural forms cause a problem in describing it ,in this case the plural forms are represnted through zero morph( Morph is the actual form or identifiable morpheme) sheep+zero morph
the words which have irregular plural e.x
man→men goose →geese have a vowel change a→e oo→ee these words have only one morph because the plural morpheme is invisible.
2.Past tense:usually the past tense is indicated by "ed" form but some verbs don't follow the same pattern like
read→read cut →cut the past tense form seem to be zero morpheme because past tense form of read, cut is actually read, cut.
also other verbs have especial pattern like go in order to produce past form went ( the past form "ed" of went is unidentifiable .
3.Noun→adjective:
low→legal mouth→oral there is no derivational relationship between the noun law and the adjective legal , nor between the noun mouth and the adjective oral this morphological description is based on borrowing elements of Latin and Greek.
Your analysis is very perfect
DeleteWow,what a fantastic explanation.thanks
Deletethank you so much
