This document discusses morphology, which is the study of word forms and how words are structured. It defines morphology, morphemes, and different types of morphemes such as roots, affixes, stems, and bases. It explains that morphemes are the smallest units of meaning and categorizes them as free or bound. It also discusses how new words can be formed through processes like affixation, compounding, clipping, blending, and other methods of word formation.
In linguistics, markedness refers to the way words are changed or added to give a special meaning. The unmarked choice is just the normal meaning. For example, the present tense is unmarked for English verbs. If I just say "walk" that refers to the present tense. But if we add something to "walk" (marking it), such as adding ‘ed’ to the end, I can indicate the past: "walked".

Introduction to Language and Linguistics 006: Syntax & Semantics - In which we review Phrase Structure Rules and discuss how constituency tests can be used to motivate particular PSRs. We also discuss the semantic difference between morpheme concatenation vs compounding - i.e., systematic/predictable vs non-systematic/predictable compositional meaning. We then review the basic semantic concepts introduced in week 4 (truth-conditions and reference), and formalize these in terms of a semantic ontology. This is all done for the purpose of observing that our PSRs/constituents are associated with a systematic/predictable interpretation - i.e., that each PSR can be associated with a semantic interpretation/composition rules. These semantic patterns can only be accounted for if we assume a hierarchical, as opposed to flat, structure. (Or, this could just be my way of trying to relevantly sneak compositional semantics into an intro-level course)

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. What is a Morpheme?
A morpheme is the minimal unit of meaning
Parts Of Morphemes:
Root
Root is the base form of a word which cannot be further analysed without total loss of identity. It is that part of the
word when all the affixes are removed. Exp: tidy
Affix
Affix is a collective term for the types of morphemes that can only be used in combination with other morphemes
prefix =>preceedes a base ……. untidy
suffix =>follows a base……tidiness
infix => an affix which is added within a base. speedometer
Stem
Stem is that part of a word to which grammatical affixes are added.
Exp= housewives => stem: housewife / two root morphemes house + wife
Base
Every form to which an affix can be added is a base. Every root and every stem is a thus a base. The set of
bases, however, is larger than than the union of all roots and stems, because the process of affixation applies
recursively.
• Untouchable = Un (Lexicalprefix) + touchable (Base)
• touch + able
9. Free Morphemes
Morphemes which can be used as a word on their own. Other means; morphemes
that can stand alone as words.
• Open Class:
• Try to produce new words using these ones ; run, walk, nice,
happy, desire.
The morphemes that we can add other morphemes are called
«Open Class Morphemes»
• Closed Class
• Try to produce new words using these ones; and, this, many,
on.
• NO WAY !
The morphemes that we can not add new morphemes are called
«Closed Class Morphemes»
10. Bound Morphemes
The morphemes that only appear as part of a larger word.
Derivational Morphemes; Inflectional Morphemes;
These morphemes derive one word from These morphemes do not affect the meaning of
another.Affixes carry out this task. the morpheme they are attached to. They have
Like =>Dislike a grammatical function.
They affect the meaning of the morpheme -s eats 3rd person sing. present
that they attach. -ed talked past tense
Like => Likable -ing talking progressive
They can change the grammatical category -s books plural
of the word they attach to. -‘s John’s possessive
Birthday => Unbirthday -er taller comparative
They can be used to create new words. -est tallest superlative
