This book develops a theory of the morpheme in the framework of Distributed Morphology. Particular emphasis is devoted to the way in which functional morphemes receive their phonological form post-syntactically, through the operation of Vocabulary Insertion. In addition to looking closely at syncretism, the primary motivation for Vocabulary Insertion, the book examines allomorphy, blocking, and other key topics in the theory of the morpheme.

Workbook with 30 topic-specific, classroom-ready lessons that teach Greek and Latin roots/stems/prefixes/suffixes in the Biology classroom. Each lesson includes a list of morphemes used in the vocabulary in a specific unit of study, quizzes, worksheets, and answer keys. Big words in science almost always break into smaller “words” called morphemes (or roots, stems, bases, prefixes or suffixes). Once students learn the meanings of common morphemes, they find larger vocabulary words easier to read and understand. This book differs from others like it in several ways. First, it organizes lists of morphemes by topic to allow a science teacher to connect them to the current unit of study. Second, it defines example words in order to make them meaningful to students, to ensure that students can connect the meaning of a morpheme to the example(s) given. Each classroom-ready lesson/topic includes a list of ten or more morphemes, a multiple-choice quiz that requires students to apply their knowledge of morphemes to unfamiliar words, two or more homework (or classwork) activities to complete using only a dictionary (plus a brain), and answer keys. Ultimately, the goal of this publication is to increase students’ (and possibly teachers’) understandings of scientific terminology. An increased ability to decipher unfamiliar vocabulary words benefits any student, but especially those moving on to college or to work in the fields of science, medicine, engineering, and/or technology.

This New Testament Greek Morpheme Lexicon is a unique and valuable addition to the many reference tools now available to those who study and translate God's Word. In this Lexicon words are analyzed so that students, professors, and translators can see at a glance all the morphemes and components (prefixes, root words, suffixes, and terminations) of all the Greek words used in the New Testament and other Christian literature. It is a systematic and complete presentation of the morphemes of all the words found in the second edition of the classic standard lexicon by Bauer-Arndy-Gingrich-Danker, A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature. It is recommended because of the following special features and uses: - Part 1 gives prefixes, root words, suffixes, and terminations for every word in BAGD. - Part 2 lists every word that contains each of the morphemes identified in part 1, so that a morpheme can be observed in all the words that use it at a single glance. - English glosses are given as brief, tentative keys to meaning. - Creative research is made possible through these easy-to-use analyses. - Linguists and translators can trace the meanings and relationships of words in various combinations. - Students have a new help for learning and studying the language of the New Testament.

With reports from several studies showing the benefits of teaching young children about morphemes, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with helping children to read and write. By breaking words down into chunks of meaning that can be analyzed as complete units rather than as strings of individual letters, children are better able to make sense of the often contradictory spelling and reading rules of English. As a result, their enjoyment of learning about words increases, and their literacy skills improve. Written by leading researchers for trainee teachers, practising teachers and interested parents, this highly accessible and innovative book provides sound, evidence-based advice and materials that can be used to help teach children about morphemes, and highlights the beneficial effects of this approach.

The 300 systematic, engaging lessons in Power Tools for Literacy are aligned with the Common Core Reading Standards for Foundational Skills. Become an expert in teaching phonics in the context of syllable patterns and showing students how to analyze or chunk words into phonemes, syllables, base words, prefixes, suffixes, and Latin/Greek roots. Mastering and blending these phonograms and morphemes enables students to read and spell one-syllable and polysyllabic words with ease and accuracy. A report by The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development states that for those children who are at risk for reading failure, highly direct and systematic instruction to develop phonemic awareness and phonics skills is required. In keeping with this principle, Power Tools for Literacy uses an Orton-Gillingham approach proven successful with struggling readers, students with learning differences or dyslexia, and English learners. Designed for grades 3-12, Power Tools for Literacy lends itself to individual or group instruction. The look and feel of the lessons is appropriate for any age group; material that appears tailored to young children has been avoided. Power Tools for Literacy uses a variety of activities to cover these key topics and more: Short and long vowels with consonant blends and digraphs R-controlled vowels, diphthongs, and vowel teams 7 types of syllables Rules for dividing polysyllabic words Compound words Accented and unaccented syllables Vocabulary enrichment by reading, spelling, and defining 50 prefixes Reading, spelling, and defining 50 suffixes Spelling rules for adding suffixes to base words Free and bound morphemes Latin roots and Greek combining forms Weekly spelling lists that incorporate high frequency sight words

In this book, Peter Culicover introduces the analysis of natural language within the broader question of how language works - of how people use languages to configure words and morphemes in order to express meanings. He focuses both on the syntactic and morphosyntactic devices that languages use, and on the conceptual structures that correspond to particular aspects of linguistic form. He seeks to explain linguistic forms and in the process to show how these correspond with meanings. The book's clear, step-by-step exposition is presented within the Simpler Syntax framework whose development has been led by the author and Ray Jackendoff over the last fifteen years. This integrates syntactic theory with the representation of conceptual structure and casts fresh light on the interface between syntax and semantics. It also enables elegant and economical analyses of natural language phenomena without recourse to such abstract devices as functional heads and uniform binary branching. Peter Culicover opens his account with an overview of the nature of language and the aims of its analysis. He then divides the book into parts devoted to syntactic categories, syntactic structure and argument structure, argument realization, unbounded dependencies, and clausal structure. He provides exercises, problems, and suggestions for further reading throughout the book.

Modern Hebrew is a highly synthetic Semitic language―its lexicon is rich in morphemes. This volume supplies the first in-depth psycholinguistic analysis of the interaction between morphological knowledge and spelling in Hebrew. It also examines how far this model can be applied to other languages. Anchored to a connectionist, cognitive, cross-linguistic and typological framework, the study accords with today’s perception of spelling as being much more than a mere technical skill. Contemporary psycholinguistic literature views spelling as a window on what people know about words and their structure. The strong correlation between orthographies and morphological units makes linking consistent grammatical and lexical representation and spelling units in speaker-writers a key research goal. Hebrew’s wealth of morphological structures, reflected in its written form, promotes morphological perception and strategies in those who speak and write it, adding vitality and relevance to this work.

Providing an accessible introduction to the study of word-formation, this text focuses specifically on English. Assuming no prior linguistic knowledge, Ingo Plag explains the fundamentals of word-formation, demonstrating how morphemes--the elements of a word's internal structure--can function to relate words to other words, and to create new words. Students are encouraged to undertake their own morphological analysis of English words, and are introduced to the methodological tools for obtaining and analyzing relevant data.

Ian Roberts offers a stimulating introduction to our greatest gift as a species: our capacity for articulate language. We are mostly as blissfully unaware of the intricacies of the structure of language as fish are of the water they swim in. We live in a mental ocean of nouns, verbs, quantifiers, morphemes, vowels and other rich, strange and deeply fascinating linguistic objects. This book introduces the reader to this amazing world. Offering a thought-provoking and accessible introduction to the main discoveries and theories about language, the book is aimed at general readers and undergraduates who are curious about linguistics and language. Written in a lively and direct style, technical terms are carefully introduced and explained and the book includes a full glossary. The book covers all the central areas of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics, as well as historical linguistics, sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics.

Grammaticalization, the process of converting regular lexical items and structures into conventionally interpreted grammatical morphemes, has traditionally been perceived as a syntactic or morphological process. Presenting a wealth of evidence from African languages, the authors argue that the development of grammatical categories is in fact strongly influenced by pragmatic and cognitive forces, factors that are located outside the confines of language structure. They discuss previous models and relate grammaticalization studies to alternative approaches such as localism and natural grammar theory.This volume challenges theories which describe language as a static system, as well as those which assume that linguistic categorization is based on discrete morpheme types, word classes, or sentence constituents. In contrast, the book's central argument is that both language structure and language use are dynamic phenomena and that linguistic behavior is essentially a creative activity. That creativity manifests itself, for example, in conceptual transfer leading to the encoding of more abstract concepts and of grammatical categories. Another key element of this theory is captured in the term "grammaticalization chain," which refers to a specific kind of linguistic category which cuts across morpheme types and word classes and has both a synchronic and diachronic dimension.
