Grammatical classes of words
This document discusses the grammatical classification of words. It outlines the different levels of language, including the lexemic or word level. There are several ways words can be classified grammatically, including semantically, formally, and functionally. Traditionally, words are divided into parts of speech, which are further divided into notional parts of speech, which have complete meaning on their own, and functional parts of speech, which have relational meaning. The main parts of speech are noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, numeral, article, particle, conjunction, interjection, and preposition. There is also a three-layer classification of words proposed by M. Blokh, with notional words in the top
Brand Naming: Linguistic Analysis Terms Defined
This document defines key linguistic terms used in brand naming analysis. It provides definitions for terms related to the scriptability, syllabic balance, aural comprehensibility, viability, visual aesthetics, evocative semantics, ease of pronunciation, durability, phonemic simplicity, gender properties, morphological complexity, syntactic construction, inflectional category, phonemes, morphemes, graphemes, and other linguistic concepts. Additional terms are defined in a glossary related to phonology, dialects, codas, idiolects, orthography, consonant clusters, lexicons, lexical stress, tense, number, person, mood, gender, case, voice and other grammatical concepts.

This document discusses the different levels of linguistic analysis:
1) Phonetics and phonology concern the sounds of human language and how phonemes are organized in a given language.
2) Morphology examines the structure of words and how they are formed from morphemes.
3) Syntax analyzes the rules and patterns for combining words into phrases and sentences.
4) Semantics is the study of meaning at all linguistic levels.
5) Pragmatics considers how language is used in real communication and the effects of utterances in context.
Linguistics
This document provides an overview of the field of linguistics. It defines linguistics as the science of language, including how languages work and what allows humans to learn and use language. There are three main categories of linguistic study: language form, meaning, and language in context. Linguistics draws from diverse fields like psychology, computer science, and neuroscience. The document also discusses topics like phonology, morphology, genres/registers of text, narrative structure, and word choice. Exercises are proposed in areas like phonetic transcription, morphology, and analyzing narratives.
