  1. Morphology Thewordland

  2. What is morphology? • the study of the structure and content of word forms • the part of linguisticthat deals with the study of words, their internal structure. • It is also interested in how the users of a given language understand complex words and invent new lexical items. • It is thesubdiscipline of grammar.

  3. What is lexicon? • A collection of linguisticknowledgethatcannot be capturedbyrules • The collection of words--the internalized dictionary--that every speaker of the language has. • An understanding of therulesthatgoverntheformation of words • Similaritiesanddifferences in thebehavior of words • Thefunction of words

  4. Bytheend of theclass, youwillhavethelinguistic background toanswerthefollowingquestions: • What is morphology? • What is a morpheme? • How aremorphemesclassified? • How arewordsstructured in Turkish? • What is an allomorph?

  5. Why is karşılıksızacceptable, but sevgiliksizoutrageous? • Whatmakesevdelerdifferentfromevlerde? • Why is evdemlerterrible, but dedemlerperfectlyfine? • Keywords: • Morphology • Morpheme • Freemorpheme • Boundmorpheme • Derivationalmorpheme • Inflectionalmorpheme • Morphemeordering • Allomorphy

  7. Twoways of analysingwordstructure • Through syllablestructure • Through morphemestructure

  8. Syllablestructure • Table 1:

  9. Morphemestructure • Table 2:

  10. Table 3: morphemeandsyllableboundaries

  11. Table 4: compatibilitybetweenmorphemesandsyllables: hastalandım

  12. Table5: compatibilitybetweenmorphemesandsyllables: yaşlandım

  13. Thegist here: • Simplycodingthesyllables of a word is not reliablewaytocodethemorphemes of thatword.

  14. So, • What is a morpheme? • What is thecriteriontoidentify a morpheme? • Morphemesarethesmallestmeaningfulunitsthatconstructwords in a language.

  15. Ourexamplesareconstructed in thefollowingway: (1) Yaş Yaş-lan Yaş-lan-dı Yaş-lan-dı-m (2) Hasta Hasta-lan Hasta-lan-dı Hasta-lan-dı-m

  16. Eg. babama (3)

  17. Eg. gözcüler (4) Göz+ cü+ ler Stem 1st morph. 2nd morph. unit of grammaticalfunction Organ of form NsfromNs not meangözanymore seeing

  18. Remark • Morphemesmighthavedifferentmeanings, functionsandmorphologicalstanding. • Althoughmorphemeandsyllableboundaries of a wordmaysometimesoverlap, lack of correspondencebetweentheseboundaries is common. • A singlemorphememay be composed of morethanonesyllable. • A singlesyllablemayincludemorethanonemorpheme.

  24. Affixation: theattachmentprocess of a boundmorphemetoanothermorpheme. • Affixes: theattachedboundmorphemes. • Roots: wordsthatare not affixed. • An overwhelmingnumber of roots in Turkisharemonosyllabic: • Morethanonesyllable in a root is alsopermissible:

  25. Stem: the root or roots of a word, together with any derivational affixes, to which inflectional affixes are added.Theyaremorphologicallycomplex. Eg. Yaş-lıstem yaş-lı-larstem Çağroot çağ-daşstem, çağ-daş-lıkstem

  26. Complexwordsareformedthrough 3 types of affixation in a language: • Suffixes: placedafterstem • Prefixes: beforestem • Infixes: withinstem

  27. Whataboutaffixation in Turkish? • Sev-gi • Sev-gi-li • Sev-gi-li-ler Loanwords: • Anti-propaganda > propaganda • Gayri resmi > resmi • Bihaber > haber • Postmodern > modern

That is, somesuffixes can changeboththemeaningandthesyntacticclass of thestem Derivation: a process of formingnewwordsbyusingboundmorphemes Derivationalmorphemes: themorphemeswhichaddtoorchangethemeaning of a stemwordorthesyntacticclass of it.

  38. Another test todiscoverthetype of themorpheme • Considertheuse of theinfinitive marker –mAk • Claim: whateverprecedestheinfinitive marker –mAkshould be considered as thestem; thereforeanything in it as derivational Eg. Koşuş-tur-du Theinfinitive form: koş-uş-tur-mak Whatprecedes –mAk: koş-uş-tur Derivationalmorphemes

  41. Morphemeordering Whyareaandcarepossible but not b? • Kalınlaştırılmamışlardanmışmş • *Kalıntırlaş • kalınlaştırılmamıştanmışmışlar ! ConsideringthatTurkish is an agglunativelanguage, theorder of morphemes in a sentence is fixedandeachmorpheme is used in thepositionspecifiedfor it. b)Ungrammatical: causative-DIr is usedafter -lAş
