 Hi, in order to understand the morphological patterns of the language it is sometimes useful to consider some diachronic aspects of morphology, that is how morphological patterns change over time. These issues constitute the focus of this unit. In the virtual session we will look at the types of morphological change in general and those in present day English in particular before we will outline the consequences of some of these morphological changes. As usual the questions on the question sheet provide useful support and constitute a helpful guide through the virtual session. This unit's mastery worksheet is a dynamic multiple choice test with questions about morphological change. Should be easy after the virtual session. One of the practical provides you with historical data to illustrate some of the changes that English underwent and with new word forms to show the productivity of present day English morphology. Despite the theoretical character, you will like this unit, I'm sure.
