Course description
Morphology
Outi Bat-El
The course is devoted primarily to basic notions in traditional generative morphology and the type of questions addressed when the domain of morphology is viewed as an overt word structure.
We will observe the types of morphological process/relations languages employ, and clarify the notions of ‘process’ and ‘relation’ with respect to the function/structure of the lexicon. We will address traditional issues such as paradigmatic relations, productivity and irregularities, inflection vs. derivation, and word-based vs. morpheme-based morphology.
We will examine data from various unrelated languages, with special attention to Semitic languages – the corner stone in the study prosodic morphology and morphology-phonology interface. Within this domain, we will also examine processes such as reduplication and truncation, and the morphology-phonology interaction in language acquisition and historical change.
Prerequisites: Advanced Phonology (B.A. students with a grade of 90)
Course requirements: Class attendance, reading, and an original paper.
