Course Details
• Advanced Morphological Analysis: an in-depth exploration of techniques and methods for analyzing the internal structure of words, including the application of computational tools and resources.
• Morphological Typology: a comparative study of different morphological types, such as isolating, agglutinative, inflecting, and polysynthetic languages, and their implications for linguistic theory.
• Word Formation: the study of how new words are created in a language, including compounding, derivational morphology, and inflection, with a focus on the productivity and limitations of word-formation processes.
• Morphophonology: an examination of the interactions between morphological and phonological structures, including the study of sandhi phenomena, alternations, and segmental and suprasegmental features.
• Diachronic Morphology: a historical analysis of morphological change in languages, including the effects of sound change, analogy, grammaticalization, and language contact.
• Morphology and Syntax: an investigation of the relationship between morphological and syntactic structures, including the distinction between inflection and clitics, the syntax-morphology interface, and the role of morphology in syntactic theory.
• Morphology and Semantics: a study of the relationship between morphological forms and meaning, including the interpretation of morphologically complex words, the semantics of word formation, and the role of morphology in lexical semantics.
• Morphological Variation and Change: an exploration of the variation and change in morphological structures within and across languages, including the social, cognitive, and functional factors that drive morphological innovation.
• Morphology in Language Acquisition: an analysis of the role of morphology in first and second language acquisition, including the development of morphological awareness, morphological processing, and morphological competence.
