LING3326 · Slavic & Eastern Languages and Literatures
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This is an introductory course to Morphological Theory, the study of the internal structure of words. Morphologists seek to determine the types of knowledge that speakers of a language must possess to use words and form intuitive notions about them. Since words (or their constituents) are stored in the speaker's mental lexicon, morphology also studies the lexicon and how it is structured. The course will investigate the nature and goals of morphology, the fundamental concepts of word structure from a cross-theoretical perspective, and the role of morphology in grammar. The course will also cover inflection, derivation, and linguistic typology. Students will investigate the fundamental concepts of morphology and learn how to analyze and describe the word structures of various languages.
