25. Classification of morphemes according to l. Bloomfield.

As Bloomfield (1933, quoted in Palmer 1981: 33) suggested, the morpheme is an element smaller than words, a unit of meaning. Most linguists consider morphemes as the smallest meaningful units and the basic grammatical units of a language. A morpheme can occur as a word, e.g. cheer, happy, or as parts of a word e.g. -ful in ‘cheerful’, un- in ‘unhappy’. In other words, a word can consist of either one morpheme (‘cheer’, ‘happy’) or more than one morpheme (‘cheerful’, ‘unhappily’).

Linguist classify morphemes into two types: free and bound morphemes. Free morphemes can occur independently as a word, e.g. ‘cheer’, ‘joy’, etc.. They can sometimes be called roots or stems, especially when combining with other morphemes. Bound morphemes, by contrast, cannot normally stand alone, but are typically attached to free morphemes, e.g. un-, -ly, -s. They are affixes, which can be added before roots (prefixes) or after roots (suffixes).Bound morphemes fall into two types: inflectional and derivational morphemes. Inflectional morphemes help to produce from the root of a given lexeme all the word-forms of that lexeme, which are syntactically determined. The addition of an inflectional morpheme to the root cannot result in a new lexeme or a change in grammatical categories (noun, verb, adjective, or adverb). For instance, the addition of different inflectional morphemes such as -s (third person present singular), -ing (present participle) and -ed­ (past tense) to the root of the lexeme ‘talk’ can create different word-forms of that lexeme: talks, talking, and talked, respectively. These word-forms are still verbs with different aspects of the grammatical function. Inflectional morphemes are all suffixes, which can be attached to nouns (-s: plural and -’s: possessive), verbs (-s: third person present singular, -ing: present participle, -ed: past tense and -ed / -en: past participle), adjectives and some adverbs (-er: comparative, and -est: superlative).Derivational morphemes help to produce different lexemes, often with a change in grammatical categories. They can be either prefixes or suffixes. For example, by adding the derivational morphemes -ful and -less to the noun cheer, different lexemes ‘cheerful’ and ‘cheerless’, respectively, are created, and they are adjectives, but not nouns. However, the addition of derivational morphemes sometimes does not result in a grammatical change, e.g. ‘happy’ and ‘unhappy’, which are both adjectives in spite of the addition of the derivational morpheme un- to the root happy forming ‘unhappy’.

27. Haplology :support your answer with examples

Definition:A sound change involving the loss of a syllable when it is next to a phonetically identical (or similar) syllable.

Haplology is a type of dissimilation. Perhaps the best known example is the reduction of Anglaland in Old English to England inModern English.

The reverse process is known as dittology--the accidental or conventionalized repetition of a syllable. (Dittologyalso means, more broadly, the double reading or interpretation of any text.)

The counterpart of haplology in writing is haplography--the accidental omission of a letter that should be repeated (such as mispell for misspell).Examples English:

Engla land > England 

morpho phonology > morphonology

mono nomial > monomial

Colloquial:

library (RP: /ˈlaɪbrərɪ/) > libry /ˈlaɪbrɪ/

particularly > particuly

pierced-ear earrings > pierced earrings [1]

probably > probly

February > Febury
