- Using the word "thickeners", this video shows how to divide words into its morphemes, in order to show the hierarchical structure and identify the morphemes that make up this word.
This is so much easy to understand and helped me a lot. Thank you so much!
so clean and clear thank you!!
lovely and very clear .thank you
this helps a lot. Thankyou
Thnk yu so much. I'm able to understand the concept now
It helps a lot, thank you very much :)
Hi Derya! You helped a lot! Because I did not remember this part I studied a long time ago and now that I need to study again but with less time due to my job, your video helped me understand what I read. Thanks very much! I will suscribe!
Thank you for your comment! I don't upload a lot of linguistics videos, but I had created this one and a few others for my own students in my Introduction to Linguistics class. I'm glad it helped you!
It is simple but effective
Awsome Word !!!
thanks alot for this video
Thank you for the video!
thnx to give basic idea
THANK YOU!
thank you !
good work
Thanks
Great. !!
Can you analyse "criteria" please?
what do you mean by "worp"? is that a word you use as synonym of verb? at my college, we'd say the affix -en is attached to the base #thick (adj), transforming said base into a verb #(to)thicken and the rest would be similar, but I think we use dif. terminology? my teachers use an approach to tree structures in morphology based on the book by Fasold and Connor-Linton (Eds) called "An Introduction to Language and Linguistics" (2006). Which one do you use? thnx in adv!
Maybe the way I say "verb" sounds as "worp" to you? Because I don't know what worp means either :) Yes, thick is an adjective, and when you add the -en suffix, it becomes thicken and this is a verb.
thank you for your kind answer...sometimes my listening skills are out of shape. sorry if my comment offended you in any way. that wasn´t my intention at all.
Thank u
Decent, thanks
Hocam elinize sağlık. Çok yardımcı oldu. Aksan muazzam, yabancı zannettim :)
What about "irretrievably" ? It was in my linguistics exam and as an Italian student studying English as L2 i find it very hard to get this kind of exercise right.
I'd say that it comes from "retrieve" (the root word, verb), and everything else is bound derivational. ir-retiev(e)-abl(e)-y. retrievable is an adjective, (ir)retrievably is an adverb. Hope this helps! Sorry that I saw your comment a year later:)
tu viens d'éclairer ma lanterne, merci :D
I got it!🎉
Hi,
May I know how to draw the tree diagram for the word " Identification" ?
Stephanie Ying Hi! Although the word looks long, I don't think it has many morphemes. I would divide it into identify + -ication. free lexical + bound derivational. If we think that identify has also been derived from the word "identity", then the morphological derivation should have happened aa identity - identify - identification. That's my opinion. (another similar word is probably clarification (clear - clarity - clarify - clarification). Hope this helps.
I see. Does it mean that identity and identify are the root words?
Thanks for your reply
@@stephanieying4317 I'd say "identity" might be the root, and identify is a verb derived from identity.
Thank you for your vedio, I am learning English.I want to learn deeply about morphology. What kind of lessions should I take?
You can take introduction to linguistics courses, but your English needs to be at an advanced level usually for such courses. They have very technical language to learn.
What about the word "standardization" can you please determine the root/base?
I think when looking at the word's etymology, "stand" is the root of this word. so I would say the process was stand - standard - standardize - standardization. All are of course derivational morphemes.
Hi . I am a student. I am studying English as a second language . I am not good at all in English . Morphology is a branch which I have to study this year . My question is * I don't know many words , and I can't know that there is a morpheme in this word just by lookin at the word . So what should I do .
You should give yourself time to study English more. These videos are more for students who study linguistics. As you study English more, and become more advanced, the kinds of words that you learn will become more complex and longer, and many times they will have been created by adding suffixes to other simple words.
Should we get to know the kinds of suffix first before we get into morpheme?
Yes, i think you should.
I think either way. I focused only on "morphemes" mostly here, as I was trying to explain morphemes for my students in my class.
Plz make a video on "morpho_syntactic analysis" in linguistics
I don't usually make videos on linguistics. These were exceptions since I was trying to create videos for my students in my classes. However, I'd say most of the "morphosyntax" content is about inflectional morphology, because inflectional morphemes are the ones that relate to grammar the most and make the sentences grammatical or ungrammatical (incorrect). For instance, when we say "She walk a mile everyday", this sentence is ungrammatical because the verb "walk" is missing the inflectional morpheme -s (3rd person singular of present simple tense). Therefore, missing the -s morpheme also makes this sentence syntactically incorrect. This intersection of morphology and syntax is also called morphosyntax.
Can you write tree diagram about “ amazingly “pleaseeee
Amaze is the root word here. -ing is a derivational morpheme because it derives a new adjective from the verb "to amaze". -ly is also a derivational morpheme that derives a new advern from the adjective amazing. So, amaze (v), amazing (adj), amazingly (adv). The word has 3 morphemes: Free lexical + derivational + derivational.
I love you
Wawooooo
what is the morphology of the word "were" ?
The root and base word is "be". Additionally, it has taken two inflectional morphemes: first/third person plural morpheme that makes it "are" and then the past inflection that makes it "were". Since it is an irregular verb, the morphemes that have been attached are not easily seen without the analysis. Hope this helps!
thank you ma'am it was really helpful.
You're welcome. I'm not sure if the order of morphemes matter, though. In my opinion, they could go either way (first person morpheme and then the tense, or vice versa)
yes, that is what I did.
Thick is also root?
yes
please please help me
"what the tree of "immeasurably
nors ksa measure is the root. measurable (adj), immeasurable (adj), immeasurably (adv). there are a total of 4 morphemes, together with the root. all suffixes are bound derivational morpheme, the root "measure" is a free lexical morpheme. Hope this helps!
,thank you so much
?"but what about " measurably "adv
you can either follow the path of "measure-measurable-measurably-immeasurably" or you can follow the one that I mentioned in my first reply to you "measure-measurable-immeasurable-immeasurably". You should choose either of these steps when creating your morphology tree. In either case, there are only 4 morphemes in this word.
oh my god .thank you for your help
I am so glad
can I ask you ,
what do you teach ?
HOW ABOUT "DENATIONALIZATION"
De-nation-aliz-ation four morphemes
I think the root is "nation" the sequence in the process seems like: nation - national- nationalize - denationalize- denationalization. There are five morphemes in this word. 4 derivational morphemes added to the root word "nation".
@@markmarkson3047 Thank you for your answer! I think there are 5 morphemes though, if we count the root word "nation". It first becomes national, before it becomes nationalize.
@@markmarkson3047 Good job :)
Beautiful #gypsymusafir113
