traditional ’core’ areas of the subject deal with the structure of human languages in terms of how speech sounds combine to form syllables and words (phonetics and phonology)‚ how words combine into meaningful utterances such as sentences and phrases (morphology and syntax)‚ and how we extract meaning from utterances we read or hear used by other people (semantics and pragmatics). But beyond this‚ linguists are also interested in matters such as how languages evolve and change over time‚ how they are learned

Influence of Jamuna Bridge on River Morphological Changes Md. Sirajul Islam* Supervisor: Prof. Shinji Egashira** MEE 11626 ABSTRACT Influences of Jamuna bridge on the changes of river morphology are investigated by the field data as well as by numerical computations using a 2-D depth integrated water and sediment flow model. The Jamuna bridge was constructed on 1998‚ and reduced the river flood width from 14.00 km to 4.8 km. Data analyses suggest that rapid morphological changes in terms

Lexis Special 1 : « Lexicology & Phonology / Lexicologie et phonologie » 15 A morphophonological approach to clipping in English Can the study of clipping be formalized?1 Denis Jamet2 Abstract In this paper‚ I will endeavor to define clipping‚ and see if there are any semantic differences between the multiplicity of terms: “shortening”‚ “clipping”‚ “truncations”‚ etc. I will examine the semantic role of clipping‚ and try to answer the following question: is clipping a wordformation device

This behavioral shift most likely resulted from both artificial selection by humans‚ who preferred more docile and trainable wolves‚ and natural selection‚ which favored wolves with less afraid or hostile inclinations toward humans. Changes in Morphology: Compared to wolves‚ domestic dogs have a greater variety of morphological features‚ such as differences in size‚ coat color‚ ear form‚ and tail carriage. This diversity is the outcome of selective breeding for features that humans value‚ such as

Dictionaries categorize a language ’s lexicon (i.e.‚ its vocabulary) into lemmas. These can be taken as an indication of what constitutes a "word" in the opinion of the writers

is suspected to be responsible for the intense burst of star formation. Models have suggested that Centaurus A was a large elliptical galaxy which collided and merged with a smaller spiral galaxy. Centaurus A may be described as having a peculiar morphology. As seen from Earth‚ the galaxy looks like a lenticular or elliptical galaxy with a superimposed dust lane. The peculiarity of this galaxy was first identified in 1847 by John Herschel‚ and the galaxy was included in Halton Arp’s Atlas of

Due to scarce fossil records‚ the official origin of this species is currently unknown. However the first appearance of viverridae in Europe occurs in the early Oligocene & the Miocene Periods in Africa. Studies also suggest that their skeletal morphology & tooth structure have remained the same for an estimated 40-50 million years. Civets‚ Genets‚ and Linsangs have long‚ sinewy bodies‚ elongated heads with pointed snouts and especially strong claws. Most have shorter fur with a more slender appearance

marine animals in the world. There are roughly about 400 living species of mantis shrimps which makes them an intriguing organism for scientists to study the different evolutionary patterns. The mantis shrimp received its name from the similarity of morphology with the insect‚ pray mantis. The morphological similarities are between the head and the thorax of the pray mantis with the physiology of a marine crustacean tail. Its body structure like the raptorial appendage and the elegant compound eye‚ are

the place grew up as a centre of commercial activities. However‚ still there is a special feature in the spoken language of the local people of Palashbari. This speciality is seen in all the four essential characteristics of a language- phonology‚ morphology‚ lexicology and syntax. There are some similarities between the dialect of Pati Darrang and the dialect of Darrang (Darrangia) in Mangaldoi. But a great difference is seen between the dialects of Middle Kamrup and that of the Pati Darrang. In

Words and Morphemes The Morpheme In order to describe the form of the linguistic expressions (phrases‚ sentences‚ texts) in a language‚ we must describe how those complex expressions are built from smaller parts‚ until ultimately we which the atoms of linguistic form. The term morpheme is used to refer to an atom of linguistic form. Most languages have a word like the English word ’word’‚ that appears at first to refer to precisely the sorts of minimal linguistic objects we have in mind. But
