    Mock Exam Morfosintaxis I 2022 Joaquín

    Comensaña:
    1. State the following grammatical concepts making use of suitable examples:
    a) Base Morph: It is the form of a word to which prefixes and suffixed can be added to
    create new words.
    Example: Touchable → Toch- = Base
    -able = Suffix
    Unhappy → Un- = Prefix
    -happy = Base
    b) Bound Morph: Morphs that have a meaning but don’t have a communicative value on
    their own, so they need to be attached to something else.
    Example: Girls → Girl- = Base Morph
    -s = Bound Morph
    Larger → Larg- = Base Morph
    -er = Bound Morph
    c) NICE Properties: NICE Properties stands for “Negation, inversion, code and emphasis”.
    Depending on the syntactic characteristics that distinguish auxiliary verbs from lexical
    verbs.
    • Negation: Cannot appear after lexical verbs, only after auxiliary verbs.
    Example: You can’t say “thinkn’t”, but you can say “do not think”.
    • Inversion: This exchange is only allowed with auxiliary verbs.
    Example: He pardons…
    Pardons he…
    • Code: We can only use auxiliary verbs to refer to lexical verbs, not lexical
    verbs.
    Example: Se mixes… and so does he.
    • Affirmation: This only happens with auxiliary verbs.
    Example: -Teenagers learn little.
    -Oh yes, they do learn.

    2. Delimit the morphological nature of the underlined items by means of the


    following labels: A) Free Morph; B) Bound Morph; C) Base Morph; D) Affix Morph; E)
    None of the formerly mentioned.

    A) Free B) Bound C) Base D) Affix E) None of the formerly


    Morph Morph Morph Morph mentioned
    a) Partial x x
    b) Goods x
    c) Juicy x x
    d) Naked x
    e) Friendship x x
    f) Shipbuilding x
    g) Water x
    3. By using the appropriate letter in the blank space given, classify the underlined verbal
    forms of the following examples in terms of their subcategorization features as: a)
    Intransitive; b) Monotranstive; c) Ditransitive; d) Complex Transitive; e) Adjunctive
    Transitive; f) Copulative; g) Adjunctive.
    a) The parcel was delivered to my sister two days ago. → C
    b) My name is Bond, James Bond. → F
    c) Wonder Woman 1984’s premiere is next month. → G
    d) Do you find Donald Trump the worst president of the USA? → D
    e) Did you ask your parents for permission to go to the party? → C
    f) He’s brought up his children very strictly. → B
    g) After the terrorist attacks in Manchester, taxi drivers offered free lifts to victims. → C
    h) They will base their company in England. → E
    i) It is in the most difficult times that you have to keep calm. → F
    j) The jacket washes well. → G

    4. Wrong/Right. Why? Make use of suitable examples.


    New in She is a new student is both non-inherent and central.
    It is correct, because she is a new student herself and the adjective can change places
    without changing the meaning.
    Example: She is a new student. = The student is new.

    5. Choose ONE of the following readers dealing with morphological issues:


    a) According to BAUER (1997), give a brief explanation of the grammatical features
    which would account for derivational morphology. Use examples.
    Form which share a base type: national, nationalize, nationality…
    Semantic links among forms: forms ending in -ism and -ist: Marixsm (ideology) and
    Marxist (coherent with that ideology).
    Generalizable pattern (but they are not as generalizable as inflectional paradigms):
    Manufacture, manufacturable, manufacturability… This same pattern appears in other
    transitive verbs, suck as break.
    Basic forms: Derivational paradigms are organized around a basic form. The root
    usually exists as a separate lexeme.
    Paradigm structure: Bauer thinks that there is an analogue: -ive → -ness; -ible → -ity; -
    ize → -atien.
    Langue change: One case in which the analogical force of the paradigm can be clearly
    seen is with backformation.
    b) According to McMILLAN (1980), give a brief description of the grammatical nature of
    elements which can de inserted in a lexical unit. Give examples.
    Insertions occur:
    1. Inside morphemes: e-x-nough.
    2. Betweeen bases and affixes: in-x-credible.
    3. Inside compounds (genuine tmesis): every-x-body.
    4. Inside names: Lithu-x-anian. Some of them are two-words forms: United x
    Kingdom.
    5. Inside letter and numeral words: 0-x-v.

    Few words occur as inserts: expletives (bloody, the hell), euphemisms (figging), and
    neutral terms (absolutely).
    The insertion is most frequently made immediately preceding the syllable with primary
    lexical stress (al-x-mighty). However, sometimes they occur before the second stress.

    The derivational process is clear and uncomplicated, and its product is immediately
    acceptable.

    c) According to LAKOFF (1966), state the concept of “pseudoimperatives”. Make use of


    suitable examples.
    Conditional use of the imperative: “Slice the salami and I’ll make you and egg cream.”
    It has the same meaning as “If you slice the salami, I’ll make you an egg cream.”
    Negative conditional: “Slice the salami or I won’t make you an egg cream.” This can be
    understood as “If you don’t slice the salami, I won’t make you an egg cream.”
    These cannot be the imperatives, since they can neither be interpreted as commands
    or requests (“Be glad about that, will you.”) That is why they are presudoimperatives.

    d) According to SCHWARTZ-NORMAN (1979), state the concept of “holistic


    interpretation.” Make use of suitable examples.
    Container-oriented → “They filled the cup with wine.”
    Content-oriented → “They poured wine into the cup.”
    Neutral → “They loaded the wagon with hay.” “They loaded hay into the wagon.”
    Holistic interpretation in sentences with neutral-oriented verbs.
    Definite content phrases are interpreted as holistic.
    • “Many poured milk from the bottle.”
    • Many poured the milk from the bottle.”

    Container phrases are interpreted holistically whenever they are not prepositional
    objects.

    • “They sprayed paint into the wall.”


    • “They sprayed the wall with paint.”
