Plural Endings All Have K

plural endings all have k in Possesed forms as well as having the J. randomly. What is predictable are the vowels. All Slavic languages make use of a high degree of inflection leading to the nominative marker in the nominative case being the bare form zero. The marker for the inessive case is ban or ben. vowel + t: at, ot, et is the marker for the accusative case.

szobaikan= szoba[N/room] + ik[PersPl-3-

PossPl] + ban[InessiveCase]

t ia a prefix in some of those in the table. The phonetic system shows a high degree of consonant saturation, and the morphology is agglutinative making t appear as a prefix more often and also leaning towards inflectional. There is a glottal stop in plurals. The glottal stop following the initial vowel of Chukchee and Koryak is often replaced by x or k preceding the vowel. Kamchadal treat syllables incorporating a glottal stop as heavy. xkin is always for the singular object in the second case.

Stress Modification

English gives an example in disyllabic noun-verb pairs, sometimes with accompanying vowel modification:

Noun

Verb

Primary stress on:

First syllable

Second syllable record contrast permit perm't pervert transport convict

Tonal Modification

Lumasaaba (a Bantu language from East Africa), in which "a morphological distinction may regularly be carried by tone alone":

'he saw' 'Near Past'

'Perfect'

_ ^ ^ [a:Bo:ne]

^ _ [a:Bo:ne]

Reduplication

This process can be classified according to the amount of a form that is duplicated, whether complete or partial. In Marshallese, one finds at least three types of partial reduplication:

Initial C:

liw lliw scold someone be angry

Initial CVC:

yetal yetyetal go walk

Final CVC:

takin takinkin socks wear socks

Combination:

kijdik kkijdikdik rat be infested with rats

Mutation

A process by which a new word is formed without affixation, but simply by a change of the initial consonant of the base. EXAMPLE: in the Siberian language Nivkh (or Gilyak) nouns can be derived from verbs simply by changing the initial consonant (see (i)), and likewise transitive and intransitive verbs are often related solely by mutation (see (ii)):

(i) vutyidy 'sweep' putyis 'broom' fady 'put on knee-piece' phady 'knee-piece'

(ii) gesqody 'burn NP' kesqody 'burn oneself'

zody 'bend' tyody 'bend'

(Cy = palatalized C, Ch = aspirated C)

The major empirical and conceptual difficulties are: (Conceptual) if the inflected forms of verbs can be derived by iinflection in the lexicon and given that the surface forms observable in the input are ambiguous with respect to how they were derived, how are kids able to decide which verbs acquire inflection in one way or the other? (Empirical) Have/be can surface in bare forms with modals. In terms of morpheme theory, a structuralist linguist will describe such phenomenon as relativelyuncomplicated. The morphological constituents Root, Stem, and Affix form a labeled bracketing, essentially along the lines of Selkirk 1982. The view is that of morphology that is morpheme-based, under the broad rubric of item-and-arrangement models,

3.2

Nominalization is when a word or a group of words are changed into a noun. This can be achieved by adding a suffix. Nominalizations are commonly derived from verbs, but they can be derived from other parts of speech, such as adjectives. An example of a verbal nominalization is the verb imply by turning it into the noun implication.
