Poslední úprava: Bc. et Bc. Andrea Mudrová (13.01.2020)
The goal of the course is to provide a survey of the field of morphology, including the empirical and
typological domains that it covers, the various models that have been advocated, as well as how
morphology interacts with other modules of grammar, primarily syntax, phonology and the lexicon.
Emphasis is placed on introducing students to recent research and current debates on fundamental
issues such as the nature of the minimal sign, morphological structure and the nature of paradigms.
Grading is based on a written test at the end of the term.

Topics covered: • The basics: what evidence is there that words have inner structure? • The notion of word: lexeme, grammatical word, phonological word, lexical item • The types of morphological operations: affixation, fusion, reduplication, truncation, compounding, conversion, cliticisation, suppletion, templatic morphology • The functions of inflection: agreement, case assignment, the marking of valency, of grammaticalised categories, of arbitrary classes • Derivation and related issues: lexicalisation, blocking, analysability and productivity • Root-, stem- and word-based morphology; the nature of paradigms • Categories, structures and forms in morphological expression: markedness, levels of analysis • Morphological typology and the classical models: item and arrangement, item and process • Morphemic vs. lexemic models: arguments for and against word and paradigm models • The interaction between morphology and phonology: junctures, lexical phonology • Types of morphological change: reanalysis, morphologisation, change of class, analogical change, change in the system of categories
