Million Dollar Arm Morphological Analysis
I watched the movie Million Dollar Arm and I choose the character JB to do morphological analysis of some of his dialogues from the movie. At first, to do morphological analysis we need to know what is morpheme? A morpheme is the smallest unit of or the smallest piece of a word that contributes meaning to a word. Example: The word ‘management’ has 2 morphemes in it manage-ment. Some words have just one morpheme like ‘destined’. All morphemes are either free or bound. Free: A free morpheme is one that can stand on its own that is it is an entire word. Free morphemes may appear with other bound morphemes attached to them crucially, though; they don’t need to have other morphemes on them. Bound: A bound morpheme cannot stand on its own, …show more content…

Popo, you are about to break the NFL single-season sack record, and when you do, you deserve to cash in, plain and simple. That's where Seven Figures Management comes in. We make sure that when you reach a career milestone like that, that you are rewarded for that achievement, in short, that you get paid very well. Now, my question to you, Popo, is Will you let me help you do that?
Here the words “ but, lot, of, people, are, to, pay, for, a, piece, it, you, about, break, single, season, sack, record, when, do, deserve, cash, in, plain, and, that, where, seven, we, make, sure, reach, career, like, short, very, well, now, question, let, help” contains only 1 morpheme. The words “willing, figures, management, milestone, comes, rewarded, achievement” contains 2 morphemes. Here, Willing= will + ing. Here, ‘will’ is the root word and ‘ing’ is inflection. Figures= figure + s. Here, ‘figure’ is the root word and ‘s’ is inflection. Comes= come + s. Here, ‘come’ is root word and ‘s’ is inflection. Rewarded= reward + ed. Here, ‘reward’ is root word and ‘ed’ is inflection. Management= manage + ment. Here, ‘manage’ is root word and ‘ment’ is suffix. Achievement= achieve + ment. Same as ‘management’. Milestone= mile + stone. Here, both are root

    After having a thorough read through of Francis Cogliano痴 book detailing The American Revolution, I feel that he provides a refreshing look at that period of time, giving the reader an engaging and easily accessible look at early colonial times and their lives. Once I began reading through the book I believed that Cogliano had a clear and simple objective with what he was trying to create, to a piece of literature that could be classed as a modern and accessible way to look at the subject at hand aimed primarily at the undergraduate students. Whilst this work could easily be put to use for undergraduates that wish for a much deeper study into American history, it can also be useful for an A-level student or even someone not in education if they wish understand the key themes and events of what had happened in that period.…

    Since the earliest multi-unit utterances are almost always two morphemes long -two being the first number after one!- this period is sometimes called the "two-word stage". Quite soon, however, children begin sometimes producing utterances with more than two elements, and it is not clear that the period in which most utterances have either one or two lexical elements should really be treated as a separate stage.…

    Every language carries certain features that distinguish it from other languages although the languages descending from the same origin portray greater resemblances than the ones descending from different families, the similarities and differences are what make learning another language an easy task or an exhausting one. In the field of linguistics, the study of the internal structure of words- since words are the elements constructing any language and they are generally accepted as being the smallest units of any language syntax- is important; it is clear that in most (if not all) languages, words can be related to other words by rules and any language speakers can recognize the words and their relations from their tacit knowledge of the rules of word-formation. These rules are understood by the native speaker and reflect specific patterns in the way words are formed from smaller units and how those smaller units interact in speech. In this way, morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies patterns of word-formation within and across languages, and attempts to formulate rules that model the knowledge of the speakers and learners of these languages.…

    Mathematical morphology (MM) is a theory and technique for the analysis and processing of geometrical structures, based on set theory, lattice theory, topology, and random functions. MM is most commonly applied to digital images, but it can be employed as well on graphs, surface meshes, solids, and many other spatial structures. Topological and geometrical continuous-space concepts such as size, shape, convexity, connectivity, and geodesic distance, were introduced by MM on both continuous and discrete spaces. MM is also the foundation of morphological image processing, which consists of a set of operators that transform images according to the above characterizations. MM was originally developed for binary images, and was later extended to grayscale functions and images. The subsequent generalization to complete lattices is widely accepted today as MM's theoretical foundation.…
