This course introduces students to the study of morphology, the branch of linguistics concerned with the internal structure of words and the rules governing word formation. It examines the concepts of morphemes, word classes, and the processes through which words are created, modified, and interpreted in different languages. Students will explore inflectional and derivational morphology, morphological analysis, and the relationship between morphology, phonology, syntax, and semantics. The course provides a foundational understanding of how words are structured and how morphological patterns contribute to effective communication and language development. Through theoretical discussions and practical analysis, learners will develop the skills required to identify, classify, and analyze morphological structures in various linguistic contexts.
This lecture is part of LIN 106 Morphology in the Linguistics department. The course has 42 recorded lectures across 9 series, all free to watch. Read or download the LIN 106 lecture note to study alongside the video.
