A Course in Morphology

OVERVIEW

Hi all!

My name is Hermenegildo da Helena Nicolau. I am trained in English


Language Teaching. I own a Master Degree and, currently, I am enrolled
in a PhD Program in Linguistics. My area of interest is Applied
Linguistics. I have been training teachers of English for more than 15
years. In can be contacted through 0258841324679;
[email protected]

We will be working together in this course Morphology. This course


is important in a way that it will enable you to acquire knowledge
about word formation processes; develop skills to relate knowledge
of morphology with phonology; apply knowledge of morphology to
expand the lexicon; distinguish word from lexeme; describe and
distinguish word formation processes; differentiate grammatical
and phonological constraints in the choice of allomorphs; and
characterize affixes according to their lexical extract.

.0For you to meet these expected abilities, I urge you to follow this
guideline as you study both individually and in groups. Needless to
say, you should frequently consult the online platform since I will
be uploading relevant material at any time.

MATERIAL
2

For the accomplishment of the aforementioned ambitious goals, we will


use books, videos and discussion forum.
