A.
Objectives
Upon completion of the course the students are expected to:
1. demonstrate a good understanding of forms of English words in different uses
and constructions,
2. have deeper insights into morphological process, and
3. have skills in morphological analyses.
B.
Description
This course is both theoretical and practical in nature. It is theoretical in that it
provides the students with considerable knowledge of morphological terms and
process. It is practical in that it helps the students to develop their skills in
morphological analyses. The topics cover morphological terms, morphological
processes, and morphological analyses on words in English and other languages.
C.
Materials
Words in English and other languages are used as materials to be analyzed.
They are analyzed on the basis of the following topics:
1. word, word-form, lexemes
2. morphemes, allomorphs
3. roots, bases, affixes
4. free morphemes, bound morphemes
5. affixation: suffixes, prefixes, circumfixes, infixes, interfixes, transfixes
6. inflection, derivation
7. reduplication
8. blends, clipped words, acronyms
