LINGUIS 100 1st Edition Lecture 10Exam PreparationThere is a new schedule posted on D2L along with some general questions that will help you prepare for the exam. I will be making a study guide to hopefully answer these questions and assist you in studying for the exam.Don’t just try to sit down and memorize the whole list of vocabulary words that are on the D2L document, add words each day-May I also suggest to make flash cards for theseActual exam day: It is a scantron exam, so bring a number 2 pencil and also your student ID-Review right now for this exam, rather than waiting -Review before discussion section (will be doing review in discussion sections)Review of ContentMorphology- Review with the word exam-All sorts of morphemes we can find for the word: exam-One of the most basic ways of looking at morphemes is: Is a morpheme a free or a bound morpheme? -For example, if I have the word exam I cannot take anything away from this word and still have a word-This means that it is a free morpheme-Free morphemes are morphemes that make up words all by themselvesExamine- Now we have a bound morpheme of -ine Derivational morpheme and an inflectional morpheme -Figuring out which ending to put onto the infinitive base form (all of these endings are morphemes and hold some sort of meaning)-Now the question is: is it a derivational or inflectional morpheme These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.-Inflectional or Derivational -Inflectional- tense, person, plurality, -Derivational morphemes- change the word by changing the type of word that it is (changing something from a noun to a verb) - Can’t use a verb as a noun so sometimes we have to add a morpheme to be able to use a word in a different form or context -Can also have an examiner and an examinee -Can also change it into an examination a. These are both (^) examples of derivational morphemes because it is changing the grammar and meaning of the wordi. What are these different types of morphemes and why do we need all of these different types of words to explain them b. English likes to have morphemes that add them to the end or the right of the stem (suffixes) c. You can also add them to the left of the stem which is considered a prefix (example: pre-examine) i. You can also infix something and put the affix in the middle of a word, but we donot do this in Englishii. pre-examine is a bound morpheme Words like:examinator-ial examin-able(Make this concept complicated and complex, and what is even more fascinatingis that you learned how to do this on your own with no one teaching you, unless you learned English (or another language) as a second languageLinguistics Video:Language is untidy -The rules of languages are learned unconsciously as a child -The language faculty is a sub-system of the human brain, and that part of the brain yields a language-Sound changes from ancient times to modern- languages are systematic (there are rules governing how those languages are put together-Analysis of language- able to show that there were patterns and come up with very simple rules for explaining these patterns- Lets ask, “What is a possible human language?”a. This analysis showed that there is some process in your head- some rule or pattern that you use to process this pattern, formulate it, and produce sentences using this processb. What is a possible human being- how does the human mind work? These are questions that derive from, “What is a possible human language?” The point of a language is to be able to say things you’ve never said before, never heard before, and have never understood before, but in able to do this we must apply something very simple, yet complicated- a system -words are nothing without sounds, and words construct sentences and can be put together in an infinite number of ways to be able to formulate thought 1. The genius of the system is that with a small number of words, you can make a variety of sentences a. What is a word? How does a child know what a word is?i. Most people think they know what a word is until you ask themii. You try to define it and you can’t put your finger on itiii. We recognize as linguists that that is actually an extraordinarily difficult question● A word is a separate piece of a language that all by itself will have a specific meaning b. Trying to find the longest word of a language i. Prefixes and
