Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to develop necessary skills for an independent morphological analysis of English. The students are first acquainted with elementary units and principles of morphological description. Then the focus shifts to lexical morphology, i.e. word-formation processes. The subsequent part focusing on inflectional morphology is structured according to individual word-classes. The lecture first explains given topics which are then practised in the practicals.
Students learn to carry out an independent analysis of English morphology.
