Morphology is often paraphrased as the linguistic study of the internal structure of words, and in this class we will concern ourselves with the forms of words in different uses and constructions. This includes the discussion of what actually constitutes a ‘word’ as well as the study of different types of morphemes and the distinction between inflection and word-formation. We will also look at the relation of morphology to other levels of linguistic description, e.g. phonology, lexicon and syntax. This will eventually lead us to typological and diachronic issues. Thus, we will discuss the classification of languages on the basis of their morphological structure and look at patterns of morphological change.
