Morphological Typology
? Languages have a wide variety of morphological processes available (e.g. different types of affixation, etc.) for creating words and word forms.
? However, languages vary with respect to what morphological processes are available, how frequently they are used, and what types of information can be encoded in these processes.
? In this lecture, we'll look at differences in morphology among a variety of languages and learn to categorize these languages based on their morphological patterns.
What is a word?
? Before we discuss properties of word structure in different languages, we have to define what it is we mean when we refer to something as a `word.'
? Question: Think about the two strings of sounds below. How many words are in each?
