Introduction to Linguistics - Assignment 3

James Madison University

[This assignment will be marked only as an acceptable or unacceptable effort.]

  1. Do Exercise 2, but just examples a. through l., at the back of Chapter 2 in our textbook.
  2. Attempt Exercise 4 from the same chapter as well. If needed, review, the following distinctions in the textbook between different types of morphemes: root vs affix, prefix vs suffix, bound vs free, and inflectional vs derivational (hint: For this last distinction there is an actual list in the text of the 8 morphemes that are the only inflectional affixes in English)
  3. Attempt just part (a.) of exercise 13 in this chapter. If you don't think you know a word containing a particular root, ask a friend and see if he/she can come up with one! :)
