Inhalt: In this course we will examine the internal structure of complex words and we will take a look at different ways in which new words are built starting from existing words in the English language (e.g. age – age-less). Compare, for instance, the following expressions: unavailable, unease, unfold with *unplay, *unlost, *ungame. Is meaning discerned just by morphology? What are the roles phonology, semantics and syntax play in this process? The goals of this course are to develop a better understanding of this topic and gain insights in the characteristics of English word formation, as well as to familiarize with methodological tools for linguistic analysis.
