According to McMILLAN (1980), give a brief description of the grammatical nature of elements which can be inserted in a lexical unit. Give examples:
The insertion is most frequently made immediately after the syllabe with primary lexical stress. Ex:
On June. 12th , 2016, a gun crime took place in a club in Orlando, which took 49 lives and injures 53 people. This issue made people realize that gun violence is a big problem in America. We know that many gun crime happened in the USA in history and guns control became a hot spot nowadays.…
The turn of the century in America toward the 1900s was a time of growth in population, industry and invention. Approximately five million Polish immigrants came to the United States, fleeing their country for various reasons. Some emigrants left to escape conscription, others left to seek better opportunities in America, and some fled from religious persecution (“Polish Immigration”). This immigration to America and all went with it is an immense part of Polish history, as is expressed in the short story, “The Son from America” by Issac Singer.…

The chapter describes the daily life of Australian people, as seen through lost or discarded household artefacts that have survived taphonomic processes. Archaeologists show this by analysing faunal and pollen remains, bottles, ceramics, clay pipes, buttons, jewellery, leatherwear, needlework tools, beautification implements, toothbrushes, toys, writing materials, and coins. Archaeologists have performed comparative analysis of artefacts types across select sites (including whaling stations, 1830s–1840s; Cumberland/Gloucester Streets, pre-1833/post-1833; Casselden Place, 1860s-1870s; Paradise, 1890s; and Viewbank, 1850s-1870s), to understand differences in people’s diet, health, class and status. This provides archaeologists a rare glimpse into the private lives of Australian families.…

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.…

* "Derivational morphology studies the principles governing the construction of new words, without reference to the specific grammatical role a word might play in a sentence. In the formation of drinkable from drink, or disinfect from infect, for example, we see the formation of new words, each with its own grammatical properties."…
