- Inhalt
- Description:
In both lexicology and grammar, morphology investigates the "smallest meaningful units" of a language. Morphologists analyze the structure of complex words (word-formation) and word forms (inflection) with regard to both form and meaning. In this seminar, we will look at possibilities and problems of the morphological analysis of English. After the discussion of the basic notions and patterns of word formation in English, theoretical points of interest will take us to a consideration of interfaces between morphology and phonology, syntax and semantics. From there we will look at the representation and processing of complex words in the mind and investigate recent approaches to morphological theory, such as the contribution of construction grammar. In our discussions, we will also consider the question of intersections between derivational and inflectional morphology. Thus, for instance, the evidence is inconclusive whether the adverb-forming suffix -ly is derivational (i.e. forms new lexemes) or inflectional (i.e. marks a different function of the same lexeme). In addition, changes in English morphology over time will be addressed. From a more practical point of view of actual language use, some of our time throughout the semester will be spent working with large present-day English corpora, and we will also discuss some Staatsexamen tasks (i.e. final examination tasks for students of teacher education) which deal with morphology and word-formation.
The Übung which accompanies the Seminar (Wednesday, 14:15-15:00) is designed for discussions of linguistic project work and other assignments with the teacher individually and/or in small groups. Individual arrangements will be made – also, if necessary, concerning the time of the Übung. Therefore clashes with other courses scheduled for the same time slot as the Übung can be avoided.
