Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... feeling of coherence of past-form and present-form: go: went fall into a morphologic class by their parallelism, semantically, with dance: danced, sing: sang, etc. If the English language possessed no other pair of words that stood to each other in the same semantic relation as go: went, or if there were other such pairs, but phonetic resemblance between them were everywhere as totally out of the question as in this instance, -- then, to be sure, go and went would not fall into a common morphologic class beyond that of verbs. 7. Classes by composition. The most explicit expression of a classification of words is the likeness of compounds to simple words and to each other, as when bed, bedsheet, bed-cover, bedpost, bedroom, bedridden, etc., or bedroom, dining-room, room, etc., fall into a class. Of this type of word-classification we shall speak later. 8. Derivation and inflection. From the survey which we have just made of the principal types of morphologic classes, it appears that most commonly, when a number of words fall into a morphologic class, they present some phonetic resemblance to one another, and, of course, some phonetic divergence. That is, they differ formationally, e. g. flame: flash: flare or boys: stones: fathers or boy: boys: boyish. In grammatical writings about English and the languages possessing a similar morphology it has become usual to distinguish two kinds of formational differences, according to the semantic nature of the classification. If the i/ words have in common an element expressing material K meaning and differ only in an element of relational content such as is categoric in the language (e. g., in English, number or tense), it is customary to speak of them as different 'forms' of one 'word' and of the...
Biografía del autor
Leonard Bloomfield, an American professor of Germanic languages, created the field of linguistics as a branch of science. In studying such non-Western languages as Tagalog, spoken in the Philippines, he realized the futility of trying to fit all languages into the format of Latin grammar in the common practice in his time. Bloomfield went on to discover the principles of language itself. His book Language (1933) integrated the field of linguistics for the first time.
