Description

Morphology in the narrow sense is the crosslinguistic study of complex words. It can be expanded to cover multi-word phrases where sound, meaning, and linearization interact. Topics include word-internal bracketing, cliticization, morphemic interdependencies, compounding (including verb serialization), Semitic “roots,” African tonal morphology, sociolinguistic typology of word structure, and historical morphology.

Intended Audience:

For undergraduates, LING 313 is a required prerequisite. Other prior coursework in linguistics (especially LING 315 or 316) would also help, as would experience with morphologically rich languages.

Class Format:

Instruction Mode
Students will be expected to meet in person.

Learning Mode
All learning is expected to take place in person. Students who need to miss class illness or other reasons should contact the instructor to work together to make up missed work.
