PROBLEMS FOR DISCUSSION. (written)
 
1. Discuss the morphemic structure of the word given in different books on 
Lexicology. 2. Discuss the difference between the morpheme, the phoneme and the 
word and express your point of view. 3. Discuss the morphemic analysis of the words 
in different languages with the help of I. C. method.4. Compare types of morphemes 
given in different books on Lexicology. 5. Discuss different liguistists' point of 
views about the stem and its types. 6. Discuss synchronic and diachronic approaches 
to the analysis of the stem of the word. 7. Discuss about the difference between 
morphemic and derivational analysis of words in English 
1. Discuss different definitions of morphemes. 2. Describe different types of 
morphemes. 3. Analyse the details of Hockett's procedure of determining morphemes. 
4. Compare the principles of determining morphemes elaborated by different linguists 
and the resulting difference in the morphological analysis of such words as 
retain, 
contain, perceive; telephone, shilly-shally. 
5. Discuss the concept of ICs and UCs in 
the morphological analysis. Note the confusion of inflectional and derivational 
morphemes in Hockett's procedure. 6. Discuss the difference between derivational 
suffixes and inflexions. 7. Discuss the problem of morpheme variants. 8. Compare 
different understanding of the term 'word-formation . 9. Compare two levels of 
morphological analysis the difference between derivative relevancy analysis. 
(Marchand) 10. Discuss the different principles of structural words. 11. Discuss the 
problem oi motivation in morphemes, words and word-groups. 12. Describe different 
types of motivation: phonetic, morphological, semantic. 13. Discuss the problem of 
productivity. Note the connection o! productivity and motivation 14. Discuss the 
concepts of grammaticalness and acceptability of the sentence 
Colorless green ideas

sleep furiously 
and the words 
anbad, puppycat. 
Note the connection between 
grammaticalness and productivity. 15. Discuss the diachronic and the synchronic 
aspects of productivity. 16. Discuss restrictions of productivity in word-formation. 
17. 
Discuss the problem of conversion. 18. Compare different approaches to and 
different understandings of conversion. 19 Discuss prefixation as a means of word-
formation. Note the peculiarities of prefixes used in scientific terminology. 20 
Discuss suffixation as a means of word-formation 21. Discuss the origin of suffixes. 
Note the interdependence o! the origin of the stem and the origin of the suffix. 22. 
Discuss the peculiarities of the morphological structure of scientific and technical 
terms. 23. Discuss different criteria of compound words as opposed to free word-
groups. 24. Discuss semantic relations between the components of a compound.
25. Discuss productive types of compound nouns, adjectives, verbs. 26. Discuss the 
process of back-formation and the degree of its productivity. 27. Discuss the so-
called minor ways of word-formation: clipping, blending, phonetic symbolism. 
Discuss arguments for and against referring them to word- formation.
