The test consisted of expressive language‚ irregular nouns and verbs‚ and maximum sentence length (utterance) which took into consideration the use of African American Vernacular and the sentence length was measured in words rather than morphemes. Other assessments included the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales and the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment. All of the tests were administered by three White researchers.

decided to make an effort on reading some of the researches by the morphologist. The experience was a sort of realization that encouraged me not just study morphology but to read as much as possible. In studying morphology‚ one would say that a morpheme is the smallest unit of word and is combined together to make a sentence. But there could be more to this definition. Morphology is the study of the patterns of the word formation in a particular language including inflection‚ derivation‚ composition

Introduction Changing of sentences from one form to another is a favorite exercise in public school English. Thus from a sentence like John is writing a letter. May be formed‚ among others‚ the following: John isn’t writing a letter. Is John writing a letter? A letter is being written by John. Very little is ordinarily given by way of clearly formulated rules for these processes‚ yet students seem to learn the technique more or less readily. On the other hand‚ a little examination will show that

1. The subject of comparative typology and its aims. Comparative typology‚ as the notion itself reveals‚ represents a linguistic subject of typology based on the method of comparison. Like typology proper Comparative typology also aims at establishing the most general structural types of languages on their dominant or common phonetically‚ morphological‚ lexical and syntactical features. Comparative typology may equally treat dominant or common features only‚ as well as divergent features only

FRAME SEMANTICS Introduction The term frame semantics refers to a wide variety of approaches to the systematic description of natural language meanings. The one common feature of all these approaches – which‚ however‚ does not sufficiently distinguish frame semantics from other frameworks of semantic description – is the following slogan due to Charles Fillmore (1977a): Meanings are relativized to scenes. According to this slogan meanings have internal structure which is determined relative

Morphological groupings. On the morphological level words are divided into four groups according to their morphological structure: 1) root or morpheme words (dog‚ hand); 2) derivatives‚ which contain no less than two morphemes (dogged (ynpямый)‚ doggedly; handy‚ handful); 3) compound words consisting of not less than two free morphemes (dog-cheap-"very cheap"‚ dog-days - "hottest part of the year"; handbook‚ handball) 4) compound derivatives (dog-legged - "crooked or bent like

Semasiology By definition Lexicology deals with words‚ word-forming morphemes (derivational affixes) and word-groups or phrases. All these linguistic units may be said to have meaning of some kind: they are all significant and therefore must be investigated both as to form and meaning. The branch of lexicology that is devoted to the study of meaning is known as Semasiology. Semasiology from Greek word sēmasia (“signification”) + logos (“account”).The branch of lexicology which is so called

However‚ as I was going through each meaning‚ I realized that I already knew the meaning of some of the terms such as prefix‚ suffix‚ consonants‚ context‚ decode‚ fluency‚ morpheme‚ syllable‚ syntax‚ vocabulary‚ vowels and word recognition. These are just a handful of simple common words that were taught in elementary school. However‚ its all the other words and their minute details that made me a bit nervous about learning

Errors of overregularization is a common error that Marcus (1996) proposes to stem from the existence of mental rules denoted by the acquisition of a rule‚ the lexicon store through memory of past tense forms and the an irregularity always is superior to the acquired rule. The paper states four types of evidence where overregularization may not be explained by the draw towards regular stem-past pairs. In analyzing this piece of literature‚ we have to be aware of the limitations of this paper. The
