The document provides a review for a mid-term test on morphology. It covers key concepts like morphemes, allomorphs, derivation, and inflection. It also discusses immediate constituents and how to analyze words into their constituent morphemes. Specifically, it defines morphology, distinguishes between different linguistic units, classifies morphemes, explains inflectional paradigms, and provides recommendations for dividing words into immediate constituents.

Give examples.
Lion: two syllable,one morpheme

3 Distinguish between morphemes and word.


Give examples.
Morpheme is a part of word

4 Distinguish between free morphemes and


bound morphemes. Give examples.
Free can stand alone with its meaning,bound
no

5 Distinguish between a free base and a bound


base. Give examples.

6 Distinguish between inflectional affixes and


derivational affixes. Give examples.
Infl: which are always suffixes in English,
perform a grammatical function
Deri:which may be prefixes and suffixes in E,
have a lexical function and create new word

7 How many types of allomorphs?


5 types: addictive,replacive, subtractive,
suppletive, zero

8 Explain why “am”, “is” and “are” are three


allomorphs of the same morpheme.
They all a ‘be’ . am with{I}, is with {he,she,it}.
Are with { you,we,they}

9 Explain why "was" and “were” are three


allomorphs of the same morpheme.
Past simple of ‘Be’

10 Explain why "a" and “an” are three allomorphs


of the same morpheme.
It's one word with two forms. "An" is only used
before words that start with a vowel. "A" is
used in all other instances.

11 Explain why “have” and “has” are two


allomorphs of the same morpheme.
Has the same meaning but have two way to use
Has if subject are He, She,It.Have if subject are

2 1 Almost English nouns have a four-form
inflectional paradigm. What are they? Give
examples
Mother, mothers, mother’s, mothers’

paradigm. What are they? Give examples
Go, goes, going, went,gone

3 Identify the prefix(es) and suffix(es) of the


given words: personalities, flirtatiously,

4 Name the prefix or suffix of the given words:

5 Distinguish derivation and inflection. Support

word or changing it in some other way
according to the rules of grammar of language
F.E: want(present)- wanted (past)
3 1 What are immediate constituents (ICs)?are any
of the two meaningful parts forming a larger
linguistic unit
2 What are some recommendations on IC
division?
1: if the word ends in an inflectional suffix, the
first cut is between this suffix and the rest of the
word
2:one os the IC’s should be, if possible, a free
form. A free form is one that can be utterd
alone with meaning
3: the meaning of the IC’s should be related to
the meaning of the word.

3 How to analyze a word?

4 Give the IC cuts of each of the following words


(layers of structure) and identify all the possible
morphemes in each of the following words.

5 Give the IC cuts of each of the following words


(tree diagram) and identify all the possible
morphemes in each of the following words
II. Give the IC cuts of each of the following
words (layers of structure & tree
diagram). Identify all the possible

6.allomorph is any of the different forms of a morpheme
Cat-cats-/kaets/ , dog-dogs-/dagz/ so /s/ and /z/ are
allomorph
7.Selections of allomorph
Phonologically conditioned of allomorph
Morphologgically conditioned allomorph
8.type of allomorph
5 types: addictive,replacive, subtractive, suppletive, zero
8.Derivation
Derivational is ‘the formation of new words by adding affixes
to other words or morphemes”
Class maintaning and class changing
9 inflection
Inflection is the proccess of adding an affix to a word or
changing it in some other way according to the rules of
grammar of language
Kind of inflection:
Noun inflection: has four form inflectional noun paradigm
Mother-mothers-mother’s,mothers’
Verb inflection: has five form inflectional paradigm
Work-works-working-worked-worked
Adjective inflection has three form inflectional paradigm
10. how to dintinguish derivation from inflection
Derivation:

A BASE+ derivational affixes new derived


words
Inflection:
A stem +inflectional suffixes inflected forms
of one and the same word

11. Definition of IC
are any of the two meaningful parts forming a larger linguistic
unit
12.Recomendations on IC division
1.if a word ends in an inflectional suffix, the first cut is
between this suffix and the rest of the word
2. one os the IC’s should be, if possible, a free form. A free
form is one that can be utterd alone with meaning
3.the meaning of the IC’s should be related to the meaning of
the word
