LING 1010 EXAM STUDY QUESTIONS
WITH DETAILED VERIFIED CORRECT
ANSWERS
3 types of articulatory features for consonants
1- place of articulation
2- manner of articulation
3- voicing
phonotactic constraints
a ban on a sequence of phonemes
ex- [tr]
phonology
the study of the patterns of sequences of sounds in language
phonological theory
build a theory of phonology that captures these patterns by postulating 3 components:
1- an underlying representation
2- a surface representation
3- a rule that maps from an underlying representation to the surface representation
morphology
sound and meaning
morpheme
the smallest unit of language that carries distinct meaning
theory of morphology
it is possible to investigate all of the types of morphemes in a language and develop a theory
of the types of morphemes
, free morpheme
morphemes that can be a stand-alone word
bound morpheme
morphemes that only occur attached to a free morpheme
affixation
combining bound and free morphemes
prefix
a bound morpheme that appears before the free morpheme
suffix
a bound morpheme that appears after the free morpheme
infix
a bound morpheme that appears inside of a free morpheme
compound words
words that are composed of 2 or more free morphemes
novel compounds
compounds you make up on the fly, they tend to have a fully compositional meaning
lexicalized compounds
compounds that have become stored as complete units, tend to be written as a single unit with
one meaning, which may not be completely compositional any longer
ambiguity
the meaning of a string is ambiguous if there is more than one possible meaning
hierarchical structure
