Derived lexemes Kuiper and Allan Chapter 2.2.2 Exercise Find the constituent lexemes in the following complex lexemes: movement, lowly, nationhood. Morphemes are the minimal building blocks of lexemes. Morphemes have: phonological form syntactic (or morpho-syntactic) function meaning Compositionality When words have the meaning you would predict them to have on the basis of their constituents they are compositional in their semantics. Word formation rules operate on a BASE and create a new lexeme or set of lexemes. The form of the base is the STEM of the new lexeme. AFFIXES are attached to stems by word formation rules. WFRs are sensitive to many different properties of bases. e.g. -ity is sensitive to whether its base is a native word or not, *alonity vs domesticity Word formation rules (contd) WFRs specify the form, grammatical category and meaning of derived lexemes. WFRs can be associated with morpho-phonemic changes. domestic domesticity Exercise Look at the following bases and derived words: commit commission submit submission admit admission revert reversion dominate domination What change has taken place in the phonemic form of the base when it becomes a constituent of derived lexemes ending with the suffix -ion? Exercise Separate the affixes from the following words and divide them into inflectional and derivational subclasses: singularities, neglectful, soils, deliberation, sacrifices, artificially. * *
