Other topics discussed in the course are word-formation (concentrating on derivation and compounding). In the second lecture special attention is given to the structure of English verbs and modals. Topics (1) classification of morphemes (2) word-formation (3) derivations (4) compounding (idioms) (5) language typology (6) the main crieria for taxonomy of parts of speech The working language in the seminar is English and the students are expected to master practical English grammar.

Learning outcomes
|
The course deals with certain basic topics in theoretical morphology (classification of morphemes). Detailed attention is paid to word-formation processes, modality and Tense and Aspect combinations.
The students learn about the structure of words and taxonomy of morphemes (including morphological typology of languages) which will prepare them for the following course in morpho-syntax. The students will be able to read and analyse language data, argue for specific generalisations and interpretation of the data.
