28 cze 2019 · morphemes relate form and meaning in word structure. Summing up, we started with the observation that there are three possible scenarios how to approach the relation of meaning and form in...
Here, I explore the critical role that morpho-syntactic rules play in forming the meaning of morphologically complex words, from two primary standpoints: (i) how semantically rich stem morphemes (e.g. explode, bake, post) combine with syntactic operators (e.g. -ion, -er, -age) to output a semantically predictable result; (ii) how this process ca...

*The syntax column indicates the most-likely grammatical function of words ending with the given suffix. Greek and Latin roots are often written with slightly varied spellings, as shown below. The hyphen indicates the most typical connecting vowel (phon-o, hyd-o, etc.)
• Roots are the innermost constituents of words • A stem is anything to which another morpheme may be added and which has a syntactic category such as noun or verb • An affix is any non-root morpheme which attaches to another morpheme. • A suffix is an affix which attaches to the right. • A prefix is an affix which attaches to the left.
