The Ling Space | What Kinds of Pieces Do We Use to Build Words? Derivational and Inflectional Morphology @thelingspace | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 7 seconds ago
How do we put our words together? What varieties of building blocks do we stack up to create bigger meanings? In this week's episode, we talk about derivational and inflectional morphology: what roles each of them play, how to tell them apart, and how differences in how we string them together can lead to ambiguity.
This is Topic #72!
