LIN 240 - Morphology

4 credits (Fall or Spring)

What are the building blocks of words and how are the words of a language systematically related to one another? How do speakers understand unfamiliar words and coin new words of their language? In this course, we explore the diverse processes of word formation across languages. We learn techniques for analyzing the internal structure of words and apply them to a wealth of linguistic data from around the world.

Prerequisite: LIN 114, LIN 270, or CLS 270, with grade of S, C, or better.
