What Is Immediate Constituent Analysis? The CognÄ tarium. Introduction The Cognātarium is a lexicon of English-language cognates; that is, words related by common origin. In English many words are formed from compounds of two or more word stems from the original language. In the great majority of words listed here in this lexicon, those original words stem from ancient Latin and Greek. For example, helicopter and pterodactyl both contain the root stem pter–, which means wing in the original Greek.

The Cognātarium divides all of the listed English words into their constituent parts, or morphemes. As of the date of this writing, The Cognātarium contains over 2,600 morphemes for your perusal. It is not the intention of The Cognātarium to list all of the possible words related to any particular morpheme. Using The Cognātarium The Cognātarium allows you to search for a particular morpheme, list the morphemes alphabetically, or search for a particular English word within the lexicon and find the morphemes that make up the subject word.

UMD Ling Pubs. Many verbal predicates in Mandarin, called VVs, have two parts that can be separated by at most the markers of the positive and negative potential form, de and bu. This chapter surveys the interpretation and syntax of causal VVs, which imply a causal relation between the events of the first and second verb. There is substantial neural evidence for the role of morphology (word-internal structure) in visual word recognition.

We extend this work to auditory word recognition, drawing on recent evidence that phoneme prediction is central to this process. In a magnetoencephalography (MEG) study, we crossed morphological complexity (bruis-er vs. bourbon) with the predictability of the word ending (bourbon vs. burble). This paper examines the acquisition of noun classes in Tsez, looking in particular at the role of noun-internal distributional cues to class. On Recursion Jeffrey Watumull, Marc D.

Keith Percival [This is an electronic edition of a paper originally presented at a meeting of the Linguistic Circle of Madison at the University of Wisconsin (Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A.) on 12 December 1967 and then at meetings elsewhere in 1968 and 1973. In the meantime, it circulated widely in mimeographed form and finally appeared in print in Notes from the Linguistic Underground, edited by James D. McCawley, Syntax and Semantics, vol. 7 (New York: Academic Press, 1976), pp. 229-242. It is posted here with the kind permission of Elsevier, the present copyright holder. Traditional grammar is a family of linguistic theories represented in the grammars written before the advent of scientific linguistics. The aim of traditional syntactic description is, to quote Smyth, to show "how the different parts of speech and their different inflectional forms are employed to form sentences" (Greek Grammar, p. 255). 1. 2. 3.
