第三章 Morphology：In this chapter, we will talk about the morphological structures of English words and analyze the main approaches of word formation. The morphological rules in word formation can contribute to a better understanding of new words derived from the bases. Meanwhile, the discussion will contribute to a deep sight into the internal structure of language.3.1An Introduction to Morphology:In this part, we will focus on some fundamental concepts that are crucially important in our analysis of the internal structure of words. First, we will define morphology. Then we will discuss morpheme, morph and allomorph respectively. Finally a brief summary will be offered.[单选题]The italicized word in the sentence “They are better fed, better housed, and better clothed than ever before” is a good example of ________.
3.2Classification of Morphemes:In this part we will discuss the classification of morphemes. Morphemes, like phonemes to phonology, are abstract concepts that are realized by morphs. The classification of morphemes must be based on their functions. According to their function, morphemes can be classified into several pairs of categories: Free versus bound; Derivational versus inflectional; Lexical versus grammatical.
3.3Morphological Rules of Word Formation:In this part a discussion about rules in word formation will be presented. Specifically, we will look into the morphological rules that govern the formation of words in English. The ways words are formed are called morphological rules. We will show that these rules determine how morphemes combine to form words and even shape the meaning of the newly-created words.
3.4Main Approaches to English Word-formation:In this period we will put an end to our discussion with morphology by looking into the main approaches to English word-formation. Precisely, we will look into three ways of English word-formation: derivation, compounding and conversion.
compounding
conversion
derivation
blending
