63ΓΕ117_  Morphology of English

In the field of linguistics, Morphology is the study and analysis of the internal structure of words. Morphology deals with the processes enacted in the formation of words. It also studies the relationship of words and word-parts to other words and word-parts in the same language as well as their relationship to meanings and syntax. The class will be run as a lecture-style seminar but the course is designed to be theoretical as well as practical in nature. English Morphology is a theoretical course, as it offers valuable insights into the basic principles, terminology and methodological tools of the linguistic level of morphology as an independent domain of grammar. To these ends, this course will delve into several major phenomena noted in the context of recent morphological research and the major approaches proposed for their analysis. This interactive course has been designed to combine critically the study of significant theoretical issues of Morphology with morphological analysis exercises on language data from English in comparison to Greek and other languages. In this respect, the course is also practical, as it assists the students in developing their skills in morphological analyses on words in English. Last but not least, students will be introduced to the application of morphology to other subfields in linguistics (e.g., phonology, psycholinguistics, corpus linguistics, TEFL) with a view to fully grasping the primary role that this branch of linguistics plays in understanding the phenomenon of Language altogether.
