1: Identify the Language Type
Given a list of languages, classify them into one of the four language types discussed in
the lecture (Agglutinative, Inflecting, Isolating, Incorporating).
- For example: Spanish, Arabic, German, Chinese.
- Provide reasons for your classification based on the arrangement of
morphemes.
2: Analyze Word Structures
Analyze the word structures of given words and determine whether they exhibit
agglutinative, inflecting, or isolating characteristics.
- For example: Analyze the words "unhappiness" and "drinking" to identify the
arrangement of morphemes.
3: Compare Language Types
Compare and contrast two languages from different language types.
- For example: Compare Turkish (Agglutinative) with English (Mixed type).
- Highlight specific examples of how morphemes are arranged in each language
type.
4: Create Examples
Create examples for each language type based on the word formation principles discussed.
- For example: Create an agglutinative word in English, an inflecting word in
English, and an isolating word in English.
- Discuss how the morphology of each example reflects the respective language
type.
