LING 181 - Special Studies in Linguistics: Introduction to MorphologySemester Hours: 3
An undergraduate course intended to introduce students to the main elements of morphology in a graded fashion. Students are first introduced to the study of morphology which deals with such areas including the following: (1) words and lexemes; (2) the role of phonology in morphology; (3) derivational vs. inflectional morphology; and (4) the morpho-syntactic interface, among others. Once students have obtained a good grounding in the areas of morphology, they are then ready to apply what they have learned regarding morphology within a theoretical framework. There will be daily assignments given after a lecture which will be due upon the next class meeting. The course will consist of an in-class midterm and in-class final examination. Upon completion of this course, students will have received a thorough grounding which will prepare them for more advanced work in these two very important areas of linguistics.
