Modern Grammar - Assignment 6

James Madison University

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

  1. From your textbook, do Exercise 6 on page 83 and Exercise 7 on page 85 (just examples 2-6 of Ex. 7, with your best attempt at labelling parts of speech). Give careful thought to the right hierarchical relations. Then do the same for these additional words:
    1. nonsmoker
    2. informality
    3. multimillionaires
  2. Read about allomorphs and morphophonological rules in your textbook and attempt Exercise 17 on page 99. (You can just write out the rule rather than trying to use rule notation! :) )
