Bound morphemes in detail
Bound morphemes cannot stand alone. In a word, they must be attached to the root. All bound morphemes are affixes and all affixes in English are bound morphemes.
Lexical morphemes can stand alone and are a set of ordinary nouns, adjectives and verbs which carry the „content‟ of messages.
– E.g. boy, man, house, tiger, sad, long, yellow, sincere, open, look, follow, break
Circumfixes: affixes attached to the root or stem both initially and finally (do not appear in English either)
They appear in Chicksaw (a language spoken in Oklahoma)
Morpheme
A sentence is not the smallest linguistic form as it consists of other smaller linguistic forms called words. However, when we examine the English word „unfriendly‟, it is not difficult to find that the word consists of three even smaller word-like linguistic elements: un+friend+ly 3 separate morphemes

Minimal Pairs and Sets
• Phonemic distinctions in a L can be tested via pairs and set of words
• Pat and bat are identical in form except for a contrast in one phoneme, occurring in the same position, minimal pair. More accurately described as minimal pair in the phonology of English
Phonemes
• Substitute one sound for another in a word and there is change of meaning, two sounds represent different phonemes
• Chart in Chpt 5 a mapping of English phonemes • /p/ -voice, +bilabial, +stop • /k/ -voice, +velar, +stop • Sounds have features in common would behave
• Feat, fit, fat, fate, fought, foot • Big, pig, rig, fig, dig, wig
Phonotactics
• Constraints on the sequence or position of English phonemes
语言学6PPT课件
• Thus the plural morphophonemic rules apply to the plural morpheme specifically, not to all morphemes in English.

Hale Waihona Puke honology vs. Phonetics
• The study of how speech sounds form patterns is phonology
• The study of speech sounds is called phonetics
Additional example
• The patterns of Plural morph II: house /haus/ thief / i:f/ belief/bili:f/ foot /fu:t/ passer-by/pas bai/
• Morpheme of past tense • The phonological presentation
The Pronunciation of Morphemes
• Plural form of English
how to pronounce the plural morpheme?
• Allomorphs of plural morpheme
• To define the distribution of allomorphs by minimal pair
• The science of phonetics attempts to describe all of the sounds used in all languages of the world.

Displacement
----Language can be used to refer to things, which are not present: real or imagined matters in the past, present or future, or in far-away places. A gibbon never utters a call about something he ate last year There is something special about the bee dance though. Bees communicate with other bees about the food sources they have found when they are no longer in the presence of the food. In this sense, the bee dance has a component of displacement. But this component is very insignificant. For the bees must communicate about the food immediately on returning to the hive. They do not dance about the food they discovered last month nor do they speculate about future discoveries.
Language is arbitrary
Arbitrary---- no intrinsic connection between the word and the thing it denotes, e.g. “pen” by any other name is the thing we use to write with.

语言学(Lecture Three)解析
II. Morpheme: the minimal units of meaning
A single word may consist of one or more morphemes. Example: a word over 5 morphemes
Anti+dis+establish+ment+ari+an+ism (国教废除论)
the final word: head-strong, pickpocket 3. compounds have different stress patterns from the
noncompounded word sequence, `redcoat, `greenhouse; red `coat, green `house 4. The meaning of a compound is not always the sum of the meanings of its parts. For example, redcoat (在美国独 立战争中服役的英国士兵), bigwig (有重大影响的人), highbrow, jack-in-a-box (a tropical tree), turncoat (a tractor) Compounding is then a very common and frequent process for enlarging the vocabulary of the English language.

Semantic component
The task of the semantic component is to analyse the deep structure of a sentence into basic semantic features and then to derive its semantic interpretation from the deep structure.
2.How do modern linguists differ from traditional scholars in defining “sentence”?
Traditionaly scholars often depended on the use of punctuation or a semantic criterion--the expression of a complete thought---to define a sentence. They look at the sentence as the result of linking words together.
They were badly treated.
They were treated badly.
在现在完成体和过去完成体中，我们可以在 第一个助动词之后插入一个延续性时间状语， 但是方式状语一般紧跟在live之后，如：
He had for twenty years lived in poverty. *She had in poverty lived for twenty years. They live frugally. *They frugally live.
*They can’t probably finish the task in time.

Language and society
The scope of sociolinguistics Sociolinguistics is one branch of linguistics that studies the relation between language and society, between the uses of language and the social structures in which the users of language live.
English, of course, is quite able to make the same distinctions: fine snow, dry snow, soft snow, and so on, but in Eskimos this sort of distinction is lexicalized---made by means of individual words.
As society is reflected in language in this way, social change can produce a corresponding linguistic change.
This has happened in the case of Russian. During the period from 1860 to the present day the structure of the Russian kinship system has undergone a very radical change as a result of several important events:

Review the chapter of syntaxthese are a few questions on some of points in the chapter of lexicon.Do you think whether the relationship between morpheme and phoneme is one-to-one?How about the relation between morpheme and sememe?What are included in bound morpheme?Syntactic structure句法syntax 研究句子结构，揭示构成某一语言句子的内在规则。
这些规则告诉我们词与词如何组合成句，句子由什么构成。
线性顺序与层次结构linear order and hierarchical structure英语句子是按一定顺序排列的。
句子的这种顺序是线性顺序。
改变顺序意思会发生变化。
这种关系也就是syntagmatic relation or positional relation\ chain relationIn the way of classification according to the word order, there are totally six possible types of language. They are SVO, VSO, SOV, OVS, OSV, VOS.各种语言的句子顺序是不同的。
英语是S-V-O语言，日语、土耳其语等是S-O-V语言，威尔士语和希伯莱等语言是V-S-O语言，也有些语言的主语、动词、宾语的顺序是自由的。
Why is it important to know the relations a sign has with others, such as syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations?As the relation between a signifier and its signified is arbitrary, the value of a sign cannot be determined by itself. To know the identity of a sign, the linguist will have to know the signs it is used together with and those it is substitutable for. The former relation is known as syntagmatic and the latter paradigmatic.The structural linguists regard linguistic units as interrelated with each other in a structure, not as isolated bits.What is the relation of substitutability? And relation of co-ocurrence?语言是交际的工具，人们在交际中说出的最短的话语至少是一个句子，这样才能表达比较完整的思想。
句子按说话的不同目的可以分为陈述句declarative、疑问句interrogative、祈使句imperative 和感叹句exclamatory等不同类型。
句子里还可以包含句子。
包含在一个句子里的句子称为小句。
只包含一个小句的句子称为简单句simple；包含两个或两个以上小句的句子称为复合句。
复合句按句中小句之间的不同关系分为并列复合句compound和主从复合句complex。
几种基本的组合关系（离心结构exocentric construction，向心结构endocentric construction）在句子和短语中词与词之间的基本组合关系有以下几种：主谓关系，修饰关系，动宾关系，动补关系，并列关系在传统语法中区分了由词的语法形式表现出来的两种主从关系：一致关系concord\ agreement 和支配关系。
一致关系中，从属词的语法形式要随主导词的语法形式发生变化。
一致关系主要表现在主语和谓语之间、修饰语和被修饰语之间。
句子分析的方法句法分析是对句子和短语的结构进行的分析。
语法学中句法分析的方法主要有两种，一种是句子成分分析发，另一种是直接成分分析法。
句子成分分析法句子成分分析法是传统语法中通用的分析句子的方法。
这种方法以词为分析的基本单位，根据句子和短语中词与词之间的关系，逐个确定句中的各种成分，然后在根据句中包含的成分确定句子的结构类型（即句型）。
句子成分分析法从词开始“自下而上，从小到大”地对句子进行分析，因此英语里又称为“bottom-up‖分析法。
英语的句子成分通常分为主语、谓语、宾语、定语、补语和状语。
其中宾语又可分为直接宾语和间接宾语；补语又可以分为主语补语和宾语补语。
传统语法从句子成分中分出主要成分和次要成分。
主要成分是任何一个句子都不可缺少的。
分析句子首先要找出主要成分，然后再找出从属于它们的次要成分，这样一个句子的结构就一目了然了。
英语的简单肯定助动陈述句分为七种主要句型SV Prices rose。
SVO Mary enjoyed classical music.SVC Y our face seems familiar.SV Adv My sister lives next door.SVOO We wish you happy birthday.SVOC The president declared the meeting open.SVOAd The doorman showed the guests into the drawing room.除基准句型外，还有与之对应的各种变换句型，包括：疑问句、祈使句、感叹句、否定句、被动句、省略句、并列复合句、主从复合句、分裂句、外位句、there存在句、have存在句等。
直接成分分析法IC analysis另一种分析句子的方法是结构主义语言学（实际是其中的美国描写语言学派Bloomfield）制定的直接成分分析法。
这种分析方法从句子出发，自上而下，从大到小，分析到语素为止，故英语里称为“top-down‖分析法。
成分和直接成分语言中的任何表示一定意义的单位，如果它不只包含一个语素，就是可以分解的，这样的单位叫做结构体。
一个结构体内包含的较小的结构体和语素都是这个结构体的成分，而一个结构体一次可以直接分出的成分则是这个结构体的直接成分。
The old man has come to his son‘s house.直接成分分析法的一个优点是它可以区别某些歧义现象。
例如Chinese fur coat 的层次结构可能是Chinese fur/ coat , or Chinese / fur coat. 不同的层次结构与意义直接有关。
汉语的“咬死了猎人的狗”也可以有两种不同的分析，咬死了/猎人的狗，或咬死猎人的/狗。
What is the criterion used in IC analysis?The criterion used in IC analysis is substitutability: whether a sequence of words can be substituted for a single word and the structure remains the same. For example, in Poor John ran away, poor John can be replaced by John and ran away by ran without changing the structure, but poor John ran cannot be replaced by John or any other single word without changing the structure.In what ways is IC analysis better than traditional parsing?In traditional parsing, a sentence is mainly seen as a sequence of individual words, as if it has only a linear structure. IC analysis, however, emphasizes the hierarchical structure of a sentence, seeing it as consisting of word groups first. In this way the internal structure of a sentence is shown more clearly, hence the reasons of some ambiguities may be revealed.Conjoining & embeddingHypotactic & paratactic relationsLecture five Meaning (Semantics & pragmatics)Outlines:What is semantics?What is meaning?Kinds of meaningThe traditional approachThe functional approachThe pragmatic approachSense relationshipsSynonymyAntonymyHyponymyPolysemy and homonymySense relations between sentencesSemantic analysisComponential analysisPredication analysisRelational componentsLogical elements1. What is semantics?The subject concerning the study of meaning is called semantics. More specifically, semantics is the study of the meaning of linguistic units, words and sentences in particular. P105语义可以分为词的意义word meaning 和句子意义sentence meaning. 本世纪60年代以前，语言学家只注重研究词的意义，忽略了句子意义。
