Pregunta Respuesta
lexeme abstract morphological entity that can be realized by different word forms; lexemes are included in dictionary, word forms are not
complex word consists of more than one morpheme - ex: reader, incredible, house keeper
monomorphemic word consist of only one morpheme ex: dog, sedate, transfer
bound morpheme has to be attached to other morphemes ex: un-, -ful, -able, -al bound root: e. g. -sperse,
free morpheme can stand alone ex: ball, head, book
affix cover term for all bound morphemes that attach to roots
prefix affix occuring before a morpheme ex: un-, de-, anti-
suffix affix occuring after a morpheme ex: -less, -ful, -ly, -al, -an
infix intervening affix (rare in English) ex: abso-bloody-lutely
base part of a word to which an affix is attached
stem word after inflectional suffix is removed
root smallest base which cannot be analysed further into morphemes
bound root root that only occurs in combination with some other bound morpheme ex. Latinate later-, approb-, simul- Germanic hap-
derivative derived word
concatenation linking together bases and affixes as in a chain
concatenative processes compounding affixation
nonconcatenative processes conversion clipping blends acronyms abbreviations
compounding linking two or more free morphemes in order to create a new lexeme; word-class is not changed
affixation adding an affix to a morpheme in order to create a new lexeme; can change word-class, as well
conversion (zero-suffixation, transposition9 turning nouns into verbs by adding a "zero-morpheme" e.g. water - to water
truncation (clipping) shortening by deleting parts of the base word ex: demonstration - demo
blending amalgamation of part of different words ex: smog = smoke + fog workaholic = worker + alcoholic
acronyms combining of initial letters of compounds or phrases into a pronounceable new word ex: NATO, Laser
abbreviation US, UK, EU, UN...
word formation study of the ways in which new complex words are built on the basis of other words or morphemes
semantic opacity meaning of a word is not the sum of the meaning of its parts ex: interview
compositional linguistic expressions whose meaning is a function of the meaning of its parts ex: unhappy --> un = not, un+happy = not happy
allomorph different morphs representing the same morpheme
phonological conditioning of allomorphy distribution of allomorphs conditioned by sound structure ex: the, a /ði/, /ðe/ /ei/,/ə/
morphological conditioning of allomorphy realisation of base depends on following morpheme NB: frequent in English derivation, applies for bases ex: explain - explanation /iks'plein/ - /ɛksplə'neiʃn/
complementary distribution one variant is exclusively found in one environment, whereas the other variant is found exclusively in a different environment
analogy a new word is created on the basis of a single or very few model words without an existing word formation rule ex: eyewitness - earwitness hamburger - cheeseburger alcoholic - workaholic
productivity property of a morpheme/ word-formation rule to coin new complex words ex: -able --> highly productive -th --> unproductive, limited list
possible/ potential word a word whose semantic, morphological or phonological structure is in accordance with rules and regularities of the language
actual/ existing word if we find a word attested in a text, used by a speaker and understood by others
derivation processes which commonly change word-class of derivative
What is morphology? Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words.
