Key composers discussed include Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Tomás Luis de Victoria, and Michael Praetorius. Secular vocal music genres covered include the Spanish villancico, English madrigal, German lied, and Italian villanella. Composers highlighted are Thomas Morley and Juan del Encina.
Morphology Presentation
The document summarizes various processes of word formation in morphology, including:
1) Affixation processes such as prefixes, suffixes, circumfixes, infixes, interfixes, and transfixes.
2) Internal base modifications like segmental changes to consonants and vowels, and suprasegmental changes to stress patterns.
3) Compounding processes including endocentric, exocentric, copulative, and neo-classical compounds.
4) Other processes like reduplication, zero derivation, backformation, clipping, blends, acronyms, and suppletion.
Acronym
This document defines acronyms and compares them to other types of abbreviations. It states that an acronym is a word formed from the initial letters of other words, such as NATO or laser. Abbreviations may omit letters from the middle or end of words. The document provides examples of acronyms pronounced as words or letters, and discusses orthographic styling and changes to acronyms' meanings over time. It also notes how acronyms are used in non-English languages that use characters rather than letters.
Quarter 1 lesson 1
This document discusses Philippine proverbs and their importance in preserving cultural identity and wisdom. It provides examples of proverbs organized into categories like those expressing general attitudes towards life or ethical proverbs. Proverbs are concise expressions of cultural norms and beliefs that were gathered and studied extensively by anthropologist Damiana Eugenio. Their brevity allows them to effectively impart lessons compared to longer forms. Preserving proverbs through continued use and new representations helps maintain cultural heritage and identity.

Word structures
Root words, prefixes, and suffixes are components of word structures that provide meaning.
Root words are the core meaning of a word, such as "graph" meaning to write. Prefixes are attached before root words to modify or change meaning, such as "photo" meaning light and "graph" meaning to write, making "photograph" mean to write with light. Suffixes are attached after root words, such as "-able" meaning able to or "-less" meaning without. Understanding word structures can help increase vocabulary.
Homonym
Homonyms are words that are identical in sound, spelling, or both, but have different meanings. There are three main types of homonyms: homonyms proper which have the same spelling and sound but different meanings, homographs which have the same spelling but different sounds and meanings, and homophones which have the same sound but different spellings and meanings. Linguists further classify homonyms into full homonyms and partial homonyms depending on the extent of the overlap in spelling, sound, and meaning.

NOUN PHRASE.pdf
1. A noun phrase is a group of words that functions like a noun, and can be the subject or object of a clause. It may consist of a single noun or pronoun, or a group of words.
2. Words can modify the meaning of a noun by coming before it, such as adjectives, or after it, such as prepositional phrases. Common types of words that come before nouns are determiners and adjectives.
3. Noun phrases follow formulas like noun + noun, determiner + noun, modifier + noun, gerund + noun, and verb + noun. When using multiple adjectives, their order is usually opinion, appearance, age, color.
Transformational generative grammar
Transformational-generative grammar is a theory that represents a native speaker's innate knowledge of language. It includes an ideal mental representation of a language and rules for generating grammatical sentences. The theory proposes that speakers have unconscious knowledge of phonological, syntactic, and semantic rules and can use these rules to produce and understand an infinite number of sentences. Transformational rules allow speakers to derive new structures from underlying structures.
Medieval, renaissance and baroque music
The document provides information about several periods and genres in classical music history:
- The Medieval period saw the rise of the Christian church's influence over music in Europe. Monophonic plainchant, led by Pope Gregory I, became the approved music of the Catholic church.
- Adam de la Halle was a French composer and poet during the Medieval era known for works like "Le Jeu de Robin et de Marion".
- The Renaissance period saw a revival and rediscovery of classical Greek and Roman music. The emergence of the printing press helped spread Renaissance compositions more widely. Lute was a prominent instrument of the time.
International phonetic alphabet 2
The international Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a system that uses symbols to represent speech sounds. It has advantages like precisely representing each sound with a symbol, aiding self-study of pronunciation, and localization of sounds. However, it also has disadvantages such as confusing students with its symbols, differences in accents, not being useful for non-academic language, and misunderstandings by native speakers when seeing IPA transcriptions of words. Resources for learning IPA include videos, programs, worksheets, books, and dictionaries.
Morphological typology/ Morphological Operations
The document discusses morphological typology, which is the classification of languages based on how words are formed from morphemes. It defines key concepts like morphology, typology, and morphological processes. Morphological typology categorizes languages into types based on their word formation processes, such as isolating/analytic languages which form words from single morphemes, and polysynthetic languages which express whole ideas within a single word using many bound morphemes. The document also examines morphological processes including concatenative processes like affixation and compounding, and non-concatenative processes like internal modification and conversion.
Lexical change
This document discusses lexical change and how languages acquire new words over time through various processes. It outlines the main ways that the English language has gained new words, including:
1) Borrowing words from other languages it has come into contact with, such as Latin, French, and Scandinavian languages. This has significantly expanded the English vocabulary over time.
2) Internal processes of word formation within English like compounding, derivation, conversion, clipping, blending, and the formation of acronyms.
3) More recent changes driven by the internet and social media, allowing for new words and meanings to spread more quickly through informal writing. Languages are changing faster than ever before both online and offline.
Blending clipping
This document discusses different types of word formation processes: blending, clipping, compounding, borrowing, and acronyms. Blending involves combining two words to form a new term, like "smog." Clipping is shortening words in casual speech, like "fax." Compounding joins words, like "doorknob." Borrowing incorporates words from other languages for necessity or prestige. Acronyms form new words from the initial letters of phrases, pronounced as individual letters or as words.
Context clues
Context clues are hints in the surrounding text that can help determine the meaning of unfamiliar words. There are four main types of context clues: definition/explanation, which directly defines the word; restatement/synonym, which uses a similar word; contrast/antonym, which contrasts the word's meaning; and inference/general context, which relies on common sense to infer the meaning. Understanding context clues can help readers comprehend new vocabulary from context in what they are reading.
Morpheme
The document discusses morphemes, which are the minimal units of meaning in language. There are two kinds of morphemes: free morphemes, which can stand alone as words with meaning, and bound morphemes, which cannot stand alone and must be attached to other morphemes to form words. Examples of free morphemes given are "book", "table", and "deliver", while examples of bound morphemes include the suffixes "-s", "-re", "-ly", and "un-". Morphemes can give both grammatical meaning, like tense or plurality, and lexical meaning, which is the dictionary definition.
Poetry (language research)
This document discusses various elements and poetic devices used in poetry, including form, lines, stanzas, rhyme, pattern, rhythm, and euphony. It provides definitions and examples of different forms of poetry, such as free verse, couplet, tercet, and blank verse. Rhythm is described as the pivotal element that creates a pleasant flow when reading poetry, influenced by factors like meter, feet, stressed and unstressed syllables. Common poetic feet include iamb, trochee, anapest and dactyl. Modern poetry often employs free verse without strict adherence to traditional meter or rhyme.
Etymology
Here are three sentences summarizing the key points of the lesson in my own words:
1) Etymology is the study of the origins and history of words, including when they entered the language, their root sources, and how their meanings have changed over time.
2) Understanding word roots is important for determining a word's basic meaning, as roots generally come from Latin or Greek and carry the core definition that can't be broken down further.
3) The English language is constantly evolving with new words being added and existing words taking on new meanings, so learning etymology provides context about where words came from and how their usages have developed.
Function words & content words
Function words serve important grammatical functions and have little meaning on their own. They include articles, auxiliary verbs, conjunctions, determiners, intensifiers, prepositions, pronouns, and interjections. Articles precede nouns and can be definite or indefinite. Auxiliary verbs combine with other verbs to form verb phrases. Conjunctions link words and phrases. Determiners introduce nouns. Pronouns replace nouns.
Great vowel shift
The Great Vowel Shift was a major change in pronunciation of the English language between the 14th and 17th centuries, causing spelling and pronunciation to become less flexible and more standardized. It was likely caused by a combination of factors including the Black Death plague, increased social mobility, contact between speakers of different languages, and the invention of the printing press. As a result of this shift, the pronunciation of English changed drastically over time and helps explain some of the irregular spellings we see today.
Chapter 6: Morphology
This document discusses morphology, which is the study of word formation and structure. It defines morphemes as the smallest units of meaning or function. Morphemes can be free, meaning they can stand alone as words, or bound, meaning they cannot stand alone and are attached to other morphemes. The document provides examples of different types of morphemes and discusses their categories and functions in word formation.
Components of dance
This document discusses the key components and elements of dance. It covers interpretative dances like folk, ballroom, and ballet which have inherent basic steps and literature. It also discusses creative dances like modern, contemporary, jazz, and hip hop which are highly improvisational and created using elemental and creative approaches. The elemental approaches include components of space, time, and energy which determine floor patterns, directions, levels, dimensions, balances, shapes, rhythms, tempos, and exertion of movements.
Verbals (infinitives, participles, gerunds)
The document discusses verbals, which are verb forms that function as other parts of speech. There are three types of verbals: infinitives, participles, and gerunds. Infinitives can act as nouns, adjectives or adverbs. Participles are verb forms used as adjectives that end in "-ing" or "-ed/-en". Gerunds look like participles but act as nouns, ending in "-ing" and functioning as subjects, objects or objects of prepositions. Examples are provided of identifying and distinguishing between these verbal forms.
Structure of words: MORPHEMES
This document discusses the structure of words in morphology. It defines words, morphemes, and different types of morphemes. There are free and bound morphemes. Lexical morphemes convey meaning while grammatical morphemes provide grammatical information. Derivational affixes create new words while inflectional affixes create word forms. Allomorphs are variant forms of morphemes. The structure of words can be analyzed down to the morpheme level. There is no definite longest word in English because new complex words can always be created by combining morphemes.
Linguistics: Descriptive and Anthropological
Covers the phonetics, phonology, morphology, and Syntax of language, the relates linguistics to culture.
Assignment on morphology
The document discusses comparing the native Kadazan language of Penampang with English in terms of morphology, syntax and semantics. It provides two examples of metaphors that exist in the Kadazan language and how English expresses similar metaphors. The formation of compound sentences is analyzed for both languages, noting they are similar in using coordinators but different in word order. Morphological systems are compared, finding similarities in meaning change with inflectional and derivational morphemes but differences in word length and use of prefixes versus suffixes.
New Word Formation
PowerPoint presentation with audio (17:17) describing new word formation in English. Discussion includes new words from brand names, shortenings, root creations, acronyms, derivations, compounding, loan words, etc.
Word formation
The document discusses various processes of word formation in English. It defines terms like derivation, compounding, blending, clipping, backformation, conversion, acronyms, prefixes, and suffixes. Examples are provided to illustrate each process. Key points include:
- Derivation is forming new words from root words using affixes like prefixes and suffixes. Common affixes include un-, mis-, -ful, -less.
- Compounding combines two words to form a new word like carphone or football.
- Blending fuses parts of two words to make a new word like smog from smoke and fog.
- Clipping shortens words like chem from chemistry or exam from examination

Assimilation and reduplication in pangasinan adjectives
This document summarizes a study on assimilation and reduplication processes in Pangasinan adjectives. The key points are:
1. The study analyzed 112 Pangasinan adjectives and found that 22 underwent assimilation processes and 90 underwent reduplication.
2. Assimilation occurred in two ways - basic assimilation in 12 adjectives and assimilation during reduplication in 10 adjectives.
3. Reduplication occurred mainly in descriptive-qualitative adjectives. It expressed intensity or comparison.
4. The study aimed to better understand the morphophonemic changes that Pangasinan adjectives undergo and demonstrate that Pangasinan is a living,
Morphological Processes

Gradable and non-gradable adjectives
The document discusses gradable and ungradable adjectives. Gradable adjectives describe qualities that can vary in intensity, such as "hot" or "expensive", while ungradable adjectives describe absolute qualities that cannot intensify, like "dead" or "unique". Most adjectives are gradable and can be used with grading adverbs to indicate strength, but ungradable adjectives are limits and do not typically combine with adverbs like "very". Some adjectives have both gradable and ungradable senses depending on usage. Understanding the distinction is more important than memorizing lists.

It provides examples for each process and explains how they change word meanings or word classes. Compounding combines words, affixation adds prefixes or suffixes, reduplication repeats parts of words, and internal modification changes vowels, consonants, stress, or tones. Conversion changes a word's class without altering form, while back formation derives a new word class from an existing form.
Phonological process
The document provides examples of different phonological processes including:
1. Reduplication where the child repeats the first syllable of words like "baba" for bottle. 10 examples are given.
2. Deletion where speech sounds are omitted, including initial consonant deletion, final consonant deletion, and weak syllable deletion. Examples of each are listed.
3. Cluster reduction where consonant clusters are reduced to a single consonant, with examples like "spoon" being reduced to "poon".
4. Fronting and backing where speech sounds are substituted, such as velar sounds being replaced by alveolar sounds in fronting or non-velar consonants being replaced by velar
Words And Word Formation
The document discusses various processes of word formation in the English language, including:
- Etymology, the study of the origin and history of words.
- Methods of word formation such as coinage, borrowing, compounding, clipping, blending, backformation, conversion, acronyms, calques, onomatopoeia, and derivation.
- Examples of new words that have been created through these processes from different time periods and domains like technology, social media, and current events.
Morphology, Word Formation
The document discusses several processes of word formation in English including derivation, compounding, blending, clipping, acronyms, morphological reanalysis, borrowings, and back formation. Specifically, it provides examples of how new words can be created through adding affixes to existing words, combining words, shortening words, using initial letters to form pronounceable new words, reanalyzing word structures, adopting words from other languages, and extracting root words from existing complex words.
Phonetics Ppt
The document discusses common problems with English vowel and consonant spelling, including:
- English has more vowel sounds than letters to represent them
- Vowel letters can represent long or short vowel sounds
- Consonant substitutions often involve replacing voiced sounds with unvoiced ones
It provides examples of rules for determining long and short vowel sounds based on spelling, and discusses how consonants like /θ/ and /ð/ can be confused with /t/ and /d/. The differences between consonants like /ʒ/ and /j/ are also outlined.
CAPA, Root Cause Analysis and Risk Management
This document discusses various quality management tools used for corrective and preventative action (CAPA), including root cause analysis. It describes CAPA and its regulatory requirements. Various tools for root cause analysis are explained, including the five whys technique, fishbone diagrams, Pareto charts, fault tree analysis, and failure mode and effects analysis. FMEA involves calculating a risk priority number to identify high-risk failures for corrective action. The document emphasizes the importance of identifying root causes of problems in order to implement effective preventative actions and reduce risks.

8 word formation
The document discusses the major processes by which new words are formed in language. There are 10 major processes: 1) affixation, 2) compounding, 3) reduplication, 4) suppletion, 5) acronym, 6) blending, 7) clipping, 8) borrowing, 9) coinage, and 10) symbolism. It provides examples to illustrate each process and explains how new words are derived through the addition of prefixes, suffixes, stems, or changes in word forms. The document also briefly mentions minor word formation processes like functional shift.

Hasnain morphology
This document discusses morphology and defines key terms. It explains that morphology is the study of words and their internal structure and formation. It discusses different types of morphemes including affixes, prefixes, suffixes, and infixes. It distinguishes between inflection, which creates different grammatical forms of words, and derivation, which creates new words from other words. It also describes other word formation processes like compounding, reduplication, and blending.
unit III. Morphology.ppt
This document discusses morphology and word formation processes in English. It defines morphology as the study of word forms and describes different types of morphemes: free morphemes which can stand alone as words, and bound morphemes which cannot stand alone and are affixed to other morphemes. The main word formation processes discussed are derivation, which uses affixes to create new words, and compounding, blending, clipping, backformation, acronyms, conversion and borrowing, which form new words in other ways such as combining existing words or shortening words. Derivation using prefixes and suffixes is described as the most common word formation process in English.
Morphology
This document discusses various linguistic concepts related to morphology and word formation. It defines a morpheme as the smallest meaningful unit of a language. There are two types of morphemes: free morphemes, which can stand alone as words, and bound morphemes, which only appear as part of larger words. Words can be formed through processes such as derivation, where new words are created from existing words; inflection, where affixes are added to change grammatical features; compounding, where two or more words are joined; conversion, where words change word classes without changing form; blending, where parts of multiple words are combined; clipping, where words are shortened; acronyms, where initial letters of
English methods
The document summarizes several popular second language teaching methodologies from the last half century, including:
- The direct method, which uses only the target language and emphasizes pronunciation with no grammar rules.
- Grammar-translation, which focuses on translation and memorizing grammar rules with little oral emphasis.
- Audio-lingual, which treats language as habits through dialog practice and drilling before seeing written forms.
- Communicative language teaching, which enables effective communication in real-world situations.
- Immersion, which immerses students in the target language for all subjects to learn through that medium.
Approaches to language teaching
The document discusses various approaches to language teaching that have been used, including grammar translation, audio-lingualism, cognitive-code learning, the direct method, the natural approach, total physical response, and suggestopedia. It analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each approach based on principles of second language acquisition theory. Overall, it concludes that newer methods that provide more comprehensible input and focus on meaning over form tend to be more effective based on method comparison research and satisfy criteria derived from SLA theory better than older approaches like grammar translation and audio-lingualism.
Communication Skills -Needs and Deeds.pptx
The document discusses the importance of communication skills in English and provides strategies to improve listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills. Communication skills are essential for both professional and personal life as English is the international language of communication. Improving these skills increases opportunities for learning, earning, and making friends worldwide. The document recommends practicing listening to audio, reading texts, writing conversations and summaries, and speaking with a focus on accuracy and fluency. Websites and apps like British Council, BBC Learning English, and Duolingo can also help enhance English communication abilities.
Esl teaching methodology
The document discusses the Presentation, Practice, Production (PPP) methodology for teaching English as a second language. It involves three stages: presentation of new language, practice exercises for students to use the language with guidance, and production activities for independent language use. PPP builds students up from initial presentation to independent production, helping develop fluency. It balances linguistic structures with real communication.

Lexicology lecture
This document provides an overview of lexicology and word formation. It discusses the key concepts in lexicology including definitions of lexicology, words, and word groups. It then describes the main ways that new words are formed in English: affixation, composition, conversion, and abbreviation. Affixation, specifically prefixation and suffixation, are described as highly productive ways of word formation by adding affixes to roots to derive new words. The semantics and functions of affixes are also discussed.
EXTENDED ESSAY
This document provides an overview of a student paper comparing language development in children to second language acquisition in adults. It discusses various theories of both language development and second language acquisition. The key conclusion is that while both are influenced by internal and external factors, the factors differ and are more supportive for language development in children. As adults, the external factors and need that support language development in children are not as strong, making second language acquisition more difficult.

Audiolingual method
The audiolingual method originated in the United States in the 1950s in response to the need to teach foreign languages to students and correspondents. It was influenced by behaviorism and focused on habit formation through drills and memorization of dialogs without explanation. Teachers played a central role in modeling pronunciation and guiding learner responses according to stimuli-response-reinforcement principles.
