2. Quick Review:What is phonology?

3. Phonology is a study of the smallest contrastive units of a language.

4. What two types of segments are signs segmented into?

5. Signs are segmented into holds and movements.

6. During the hold portion of a sign what parameters does that sign have?

7. HandshapeOrientationLocationNonmanual

8. During the movement segment of a sign what parameters does that sign have?

9. HandshapeOrientationLocation (!)Nonmanual

13. What is morphology?

14. Morphology is the study of the smallest MEANINGFUL units of language and how those units are used to build new words (or signs).

22. The first contact rule, the single sequence rule, and the weak hand anticipation rule are morphological rules.

23. [57] “GOOD” and “NIGHT”

24. [58] “GOOD-NIGHT”

26. [59]Movement epenthesis, hold deletion, and assimilation are phonological rules.

28. [60]English: GREEN-HOUSE(Does that mean a house that is green?)

29. Compounds create new meanings.Example: THINK-MARRIAGE

30. “BELIEVE”

32. In considering phonology and morphology, which of the following signs doesn’t fit with the other on the list? [p49] a. LOUSYb. AWKWARDc. THREE-DOLLARS (In this sign, the three handshape functions as a morpheme]d. PREACH

33. THREE-DOLLARS (In this sign, the three handshape functions as a morpheme]

34. In English, adding “er” to the term “walk” to create “walker” is an example of: [p52] a. creating a process morphemeb. using a form morpheme to create a noun from a verb c. adding a free morpheme to create a processd. a compound word

35. In English, adding “er” to the term “walk” to create “walker” is an example of: [p52] * using a form morpheme to create a noun from a verb

36. In English, emphasizing or “stressing” the first syllable of the word subject instead of the second syllable, is an example of: [p52] a. using a process morpheme to create a noun from a verb b. using a form morpheme to create a noun from a verbc. adding a free morpheme to create a processd. a compound word

37. In English, emphasizing or “stressing” the first syllable of the word subject instead of the second syllable, is an example of: [p52] * using a process morpheme to create a noun from a verb

38. What types of signs differ in their movement but share the same handshape, location, and orientation? [p52] a. compound pairsb. noun-verb pairs c. form morphemesd. cheremes

39. What types of signs differ in their movement but share the same handshape, location, and orientation? [p52] * noun-verb pairs

40. The process of repetition is called: [p54] a. affixationb. compoundingc. lexicalizationd. reduplication

41. The process of repetition is called: [p54] * reduplication

42. The process of adding bound morphemes to other forms to create new units is called: [p54] a. affixation b. compoundingc. lexicalizationd. attachment

43. The process of adding bound morphemes to other forms to create new units is called: [p54] * affixation

44. The use of affixation in ASL would result in the creation of a: [p54] a. form morpheme b. process morphemec. lexicalized signd. reduplicated sign

45. The use of affixation in ASL would result in the creation of a: [p54] * form morpheme

46. Noun-verb pairs provide an example of: [p54] a. creation of a form morpheme b. creation of a process morpheme c. lexicalized signsd. compounding

47. Noun-verb pairs provide an example of: [p54] * creation of a process morpheme

48. The creation of a new word by combining two free morphemes is called: [p56] a. noun-verb pairingb. affixationc. incorporationd. compounding

49. The creation of a new word by combining two free morphemes is called: [p56] * compounding

50. The first contact rule applies to: [p57] a. nonmanual markersb. compounds c. determinersd. the weak hand
