4 morphology ( 형태론 ) Morpheme ( 형태소 ) 란의미를가진최소한의단위 A morpheme is the smallest string of sounds carrying meaning/function. Morphology ( 형태론 ) 이란문장의기본단위인단어 / 어휘의구성이나구조에관해서연구하는학문 unfortunately = un(prefix) +fortune (root) +ate(suffix) +ly (suffix) cats = cat (root/stem) + -s (infl. Aff) workers = work (root) + -er (der. Aff) + -s (infl. Aff) [(root) +derivational suffix = stem ] 어근은 W 의의미를가진것에서가장단순한형태로서, 여기에파생접사가붙으면어간 (stem) 이된다. Care (root) careful (stem) <== care + ful) sang=sing (root/stem) +ed (past tense) spaghettification (root/stem)+-fy + -cation (Black Hole)
The Longest English word, not coined, non-technical. 5 "Antidisestablishmentarianism" is the longest common example of a word formed by agglutinative construction, as follows (the numbers succeeding the word refer to the number of letters in the word): establish (9) to set up, put in place, or institute (originally from the Latin stare, to stand) dis-establish (12) to end the established status of a body, in particular a church, given such status by law, such as the Church of England disestablish-ment (16) the separation of church and state (specifically in this context it is the political movement of the 1860s in Britain) anti-disestablishment (20) opposition to disestablishment antidisestablishment-ary (23) of or pertaining to opposition to disestablishment antidisestablishmentari-an (25) an opponent of disestablishment antidisestablishmentarian-ism (28) the movement or ideology that opposes disestablishment between the British State and the Church antidisestablishmentarianismologist = one who studies the movement or the ideology that opposes disestablishment Fill in the blanks. The word antidisestablishmentarianismologist is ( 1 ) word, ( ) morphemes, ( ) phonemes, and ( ) letters.
형태소의유형 6 단어 (W) 는한개의형태소로구성될수도있고여러개의형태소로도구성될수있으며또한영형태소 (zero morpheme) 를포함할수도있다. 1 morpheme: book 2 morphemes: books 3 morphemes: workers = work+er+s zero morpheme: sheep (sg.)+(zero morpheme) Ex: one sheep two sheep-φ one fish a dozen fish-φ
어휘소 (Lexeme) 7 어휘소란동일한어휘항목들이속하는추상적인단어를말한다.(dog-dogs; SEE; see-sees-seeing-saw etc.) SEE 라는어휘소는 see-sees-seeing-saw 같은여러단어를포함함 어휘소가문장가운데서실제로시제, 성, 수등이발현된경우에이를문법어또는단순하게단어라고한다. Usually he cuts the bread on the table. Yesterday he cut the bread in the sink. Jane has a cut on her finger.
8 영어형태소의분류
접두사 (prefix), 접미사 (suffix), 접요사 (infix) 9 접두사는단어앞에, 접미사는뒤에, 접요사는단어가운데오는구속형태소. 영어에는엄밀한의미의접요사가없다. tmesis 현상 : 영어에서한개의단어가다른단어중간에마치접요사처럼삽입되는현상 Kalamazoo; Kalama-goddam-zoo Absolutely; abso-f****ing-lutely Guarantee; guaran-friggin-tee
Free morpheme ( 자유형태소 ) vs Bound morpheme ( 구속형태소 ) 10 Free morpheme 은홀로단어로사용될수있는형태소를말한다. ( 예 : dog, in, to, the, slow, student) Bound morpheme 은독립적으로단어로사용될수없는형태소로서각종접사와어근 / 어간을일컫는다. 단어의내부는층위구조를가지며파생접사는일정한규칙에따라붙는다. 구속형태소는굴절형태소와파생형태소가있다. 영어의굴절형태소는 8 개뿐이며, 파생형태소는훨씬많다. 파생형태소는접두사와접미사가있고, 굴절형태소는접미사만존재한다.
단어의내부구조 : *undrink 는단어가아니다. 11 접두사 un-(type 1) 은형용사에만붙을수있다. unhappy, unmarried, unclear, unhelpful, unjust etc.
12 un-(type-2) 는동사에붙어서 reverse removal 의의미를가진다. undress, undo, unbutton, unfasten, unscribe etc. Fasten the seatbelt! vs. Unfasten the seatbelt as quickly as possible!
예 : ungentlemanly 의구조 13

자유형태소와구속형태소 19 독립적으로단어로사용될수있는형태소를 free morpheme 라고한다. Boy, book, house, linguistics, smart, breeze, etc Free morpheme은기능어와내용어로나뉜다. 기능어 : 닫힌어휘부류 (closed class) 내용어 : 열린어휘부류 (open class) 독립적으로단어로사용될수없는형태소를 bound morpheme 라고한다.
영어의 8 개 Inflectional morphemes( 굴절형태소 ) 20 3rd person singular s John studies English Linguistics, Past tense ed My mother baked a chocolate moose cake for me last night. progressive ing We all human being have been destroying our environment. Past participle en The students have studied syntax before.
cont d 21 Plural ending -s The students stormed out of the room. Possessive s John s computer did not work properly. Comparative form of Adj/Adv er John is definitely taller than anyone else in the room. Superlative form est John Baker was the smartest student in the class of 95.
굴절형태소와파생형태소의차이 22 Inflectional morphemes are all suffixes; no inflectional morpheme is a prefix. Inflectional morphemes would not change the syntactic category of the host word. Inflectional morphemes are at the end of the host words. Only one inflectional morpheme can attach to the host word, unlike derivational morphemes.
23 파생형태론 (Derivational morphology) 파생형태소는원래의단어에접사가붙어서새로운단어를만든다. 소유격을제외한나머지굴절형태소는대체로한단어에한개만붙는데비해파생형태소는여러개가붙을수있다. 굴절형태소는본래단어의문법적범주를바꾸지않는데비해서, 파생형태소는본래단어의문법적범주를바꾸는경우가많이있다.
파생어 : Derived words 24 파생접미사 ish, -y, -ly, -esque, -like, -ate 등은명사와결합하여형용사를만든다. fortish, smelly, fatherly, picturesque, fortunate 그밖에명사에붙는접미사들로 ful, -hood, - less, -like, -ster, -ship, -fy, -ize, -ism, -ist 등이있다. fistful, boyhood, fatherless, jobless, youngster, friendship, idealism, violinist
25 동사에붙는접미사 :-able, --age, -al, -ant, -ee, - er/or, -ment, -tion etc. washable, acceptable, thinkable, coverage, denial, contestant, employee, worker, arrangement, fixation etc. 형용사에붙는접사 : -en, -ish, -ity, -ly, -ness fasten, soften, blacken, whiten, reddish, yellowish, greenish, girlish, childish, selfish, sanity, certainly, gladly, happily, fortunately, happiness etc. 형용사와부사가형태적으로동일한경우 hard, well, fast, early, late etc.
26 Parts of speech / syntactic category I ll have to study English linguistics very hard to get an A+. This is such a hard object that no one can break it apart. John speaks Chinese well. Everything seems well with John. My brother drives very fast; he becomes reckless every time he is behind the wheel. Lamborghini is a fast Italian car, whereas Porsche is a fast German automobile. John is never late for a party; he is a party animal. The late president of the university was buried in the national cemetery. John stayed up late last night, studying English linguistics
27 이형태 (allomorph) 동일한한개의형태소 ( 동일한의미를가짐 ) 가그음성음운적 / 어휘적 / 형태적환경에따라두개이상의표면형태로나타날때이들을그형태소의이형태라고한다. Definition An allomorph is one of two or more complementary morphs which manifest a morpheme in its different phonological or morphological environments. 이형태는한개의형태소로부터도출된다.
28 The plural morpheme s is pronounced differently in (a) and (b). Is it the same or two different morphemes? Answer: It is one morpheme with two different realizations depending on the phonological environment. It is [-s] after [p], [t], [k], and [-z] after [d], [g], [n], and [ z] after coronal fricatives Exercise: a. hand-s, dog-s, nun-s [z] b. cat-s, dock-s, trap-s [s] Allomorphic English plural rule: a sound: made with the blade of the tongue raised [Z] [ z] / [coronal, fricative] [s] / [-voice] [z] / [+voice] 주의 : /s/, /z/ 음앞에서복수의형태소 /z/ 가 / z/ 가되는규칙이제일먼저적용되어야한다. 그이유는 bus 를예로들어보면만일두번째규칙이먼저적용되면, [bʌs z] 로발음되는것을설명하지못하기때문이다.
이형태의결정과정 29 (ii) 음운적결정 (phonologically conditioned) 대부분의복수의이형태, 과거시제소의이형태등 Ex. laugh-laughs; tub-tubs; charge-charges; kiss-kissed, study studied, kill-killed (i) 어휘적결정 lexically conditioned Ex. man-men, woman-women, foot-feet, goose-geese, tooth-teeth, mouse-mice (these are German origin via Umlaut plurals) Ox-oxen, brother-brethren, child-children (iii) 드물게 morphological processes 에의해서결정되기도한다 Ex. im port import
Examples of Allomorphs 30 (1)Past tense morpheme; /d/---[d][t][əd] [Φ] John killed the roaches mercilessly John crossed the street without looking around John hunted down a criminal last week. John cut-φ the bread with a fruit knife last night (2) Plural morpheme;/s/ ---[s][z][əz][ən][φ] laugh-laughs; tub-tubs; charge-charges map maps, bag bags, kiss - kisses
31 (3) 3rd person singular affix; /s/--[s][z][əz] John walks every morning. [-s] John sings at a night club on Saturdays [-z]. Prof. Baker is very weird; he hisses at the faculty meeting all the time. [əz] 주의 : 이형태의분포는상보적이며한개의이형태가출현한위치에다른이형태가나타날수없다.
Allomorph 의예 ( 계속 ) 32 (4) Negaive morpheme(prefix) /in/ has several allomorphs. Ex. Sufficient insufficient, elegant inelegant, conceivable inconceivable, capable incapable comprehensible incomprehensible, expensive inexpensive; possible impossible, probable improbable polite impolite, potent impotent; regular irregular, responsible irresponsible resistible irresistible, reconcilable irreconcilable rational irrational, reverent irreverent (revere (v.) Reverend Smith) legal illegal, logical illogical, licit illicit literate illiterate, legible illegible (My grandfather is computer-illiterate, but he is definitely a man of wisdom) Are there 4 English negative morphemes /in, /im/, /ir/, /il/? NO! Instead, there is only one negative morpheme (English) /in/, which contains 4 allomorphs, [-im], [-in], [-il], [-ir]
Past tense allomorphs in English 33 /əd/ or /ɪd/ in verbs whose stem ends with the alveolar stops /t/ or /d/, such as 'hunted' /hʌntɪd/ 'banded' /bændɪd/, landed /lændɪd/ /t/ in verbs whose stem ends with voiceless phonemes other than /t/, such as 'fished' /finiʃt/, lack /læ kt/ look /lukt/ /d/ in verbs whose stem ends voiced phonemes other than /d/, such as 'buzzed' /bʌzd/, jogged /jogd/, rule /ruld/
발음과철자 : Ghoti 의발음은? 34 동음이의어 homonymes/homophones 동일한발음, 다른의미를가진단어쌍을말하는데이들의철자는 같을수도있고다를수도있다. 철자가다른경우 : mail/male, tail/tale, whether/weather, sea/see, sight/site etc. 철자가같은경우 ; bank/bank; bear/bear - 다음쌍은 homonyme 일까? The hunters saw a gorilla in the woods. The hunters saw a guerrilla in the woods.
Case study: homonyms? or Not? 35 The male students carried the bier to the cemetery The male students carried the beer to the cemetery 동철자어 (Homograph) 철자는같고의미는다른단어 ( 대개, 발음이다르다 ) 발음이다른경우 : lead- [led]; [li:d] (= 동철이음어 ) 발음이같은경우 : bear( 곰 )- bear( 참다 ) (= 동철동음어 )
