Course Description:
This course examines how words are put together. We will learn about affixes, reduplication, and other ways words change in order to change their meaning. Special attention will be paid to the difference between inflection and derivation, how morphology relates to phonology and syntax, compound words and headedness, productivity, paradigms, morphological theory, and morphological history. At the end of the course we will use what we know to analyze the morphology of Hawaiian, Finnish, Russian, and the North Atlantic (West African) languages. |
