Morphology

Aims

This module aims to provide an overview of the linguistic field of morphology. The module explores how morphology interacts with syntax and phonology, building on the syntax and phonology skills acquired in the first year. In addition, the module investigates the internal structure of words and introduces theoretical approaches used to analyse words. Topics covered include types of morphemes, morphological derivation, polysemy, inflection, and productivity of morphological processes.

By the end of this module, students will be able to:

  • Analyse the internal structure of words in English and other languages
  • Apply abstract theory to practical data
  • Evaluate different morphological analyses
  • Evaluate different frameworks of morphology
