Osnova sekce
-
This week,
a) read the section 1.4 Termites in the Foundations of the Structuralist Morpheme of Anderson (2015)* [pages 6–12 of the pdf attached];
b) based on his discussion and the examples he gives, find five examples of words / types of words in any languages of your choice that represent various problems that Anderson talks about (or, possibly, other problems with the morpheme, if you can think of any that he does not mention); submit your assignment via Moodle (here) by the end of the week (i.e., by March 7). For more information and an example, look here.
