Derivational morphology
• Deriving new words by applying rules.
• Base + affix/base → new word (base)
• Agentive -er
• Play+er, watch+er, do+er, write+er, kill+er,open+er etc.
• V+er → N
• Compositionality of meaning

Inflection versus derivation
• Derivation - deriving new words, e.g. +able (do+able), +er (open+er), etc.
• Inflection - creating different grammatical forms of the same word, e.g. +s (he play+s), +ed (play+ed), +ing (play+ing), +s (toy+s), +s (Mary’s), +er (hott+er), +est (hott+est).

Inflection versus derivation
• Inflection
• Doesn’t change the grammatical category
• Meaning relationship is regular.
• Derivation
• May change the grammatical category.
• Meaning relationship not always regular.
• E.g. fixable versus readable.

Inflection versus derivation
• Derivational morphemes are closer to the base than the derivational morphemes,i.e.
• Inflectional morphemes are the “outer shell” of the word
• E.g. modern+ize+ing
• BUT: *modern+ing+ize
• E.g. play+er+s
• BUT: *play+s+er

Productivity
• Suffix -able
• attaches only to transitive verbs
• What is a transitive verb?
• Nouns with -able in English:
• peaceable, companionable, marriageable, impressionable, knowledgeable, actionable, saleable, reasonable, fashionable
• Is our generalization wrong?

Productivity
• Vtrans + able is productive
• N + able is not, i.e. it is restricted to a few examples
• Such forms need to be learned and memorized explicitly

• hospitable
• sizeable (meaning “ample”)
• Is it V + able?

False Analysis
• -able in hospitable and sizeable does not mean “to be able”
• -able is compatible with another derivational suffix, e.g. -ity that forms a noun:
• readable (Adj) - readability (N)
• provable (Adj) - provability (N)
• breakable (Adj) - breakability (N)

Bound Base Morphemes
• Semantic properties of -able in:
• malleable, feasible
• are “to be able”
• segmentation seems motivated:
• malle+able, feas+ible
• But: malle(y) and feas(e) do not exist as independent or free morphemes

Problems
• When arguing about the structure of a word:
• base might be from a closed set of no longer productive forms
• possible completely false analysis of the base
• base may not be an existing word

Articulation
• Speech is:
• a rapidly flowing series of noises
• produced inside the throat, mouth, and nasal passages
• radiates out from the mouth and sometimes the nose
• Learning to speak:
• control of a few muscles that move the lips, jaw, and tongue?

Articulation
• More complicated:
• more than 100 muscles
• complex interaction of
• outward flow of air from the lungs
• modification of the airflow at the larynx
• modification of the airflow by the position and movement of the tongue and other anatomical structures of the vocal tract

Airflow from lungs
• expanding the lungs (diaphragm, external intercostals)
• muscles restrain the lungs from emptying too rapidly
• breathing is adapted to the needs of speech

The role of vocal cords
• voicing (phonation): vibration of vocal cords
• the airflow must be sufficiently rapid
• vocal cords must be relatively lax
• vocal cords must be sufficiently close
• voiceless sounds: vocal cords more tense and wider apart

The role of vocal cords
• voicing (phonation): vibration of vocal cords
• frequency of vocal cord vibrations determines the perceived pitch
• determined by size (male lower, female higher)
• extra noise or buzz with the z-sound (voiced), compared to the s-sound (voiceless)
• for s the vocal cords are wider spread and tense, compared to z

Speech versus Orthography versus Phonetic Transcription
• Our perception of speech: discrete segments
• English orthography does not reflect segments. Example:
• tin, nation
• kick, choir, quick, cow
• Phonetic symbols should be comparable across languages. Example
• “c” English, French, Polish
