General Prerequisites
A good background in basic principles of phonology and morphology is required or otherwise the willingness to conduct self-study on missing backround information
Learning Outcomes
Βy the completion of the course, students will have acquired the following competencies: (a) familiarity with the interaction phonology and morphology display (b) exposure to and awareness of diverse morphophonological data (c) enrichment of their knowledge of English regarding phenomena such as stress and truncation (d) development of problem-solving skills.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Make decisions
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
  • Generate new research ideas
  • Be critical and self-critical

Course Content (Syllabus)
In this course, students will be able to apply basic principles of phonology and morphology in order to get acquainted with the phonology-morphology interface in English and elsewhere. A broad range of phenomena will be discussed. A non-exhaustive list includes: reduplication for the formation of various grammatical categories, phonologically-conditioned allomorphy, infixation and whether it should be viewed as a phonological or a morphological process, stress and the importance of morphological factors to its placement and nickname formation through truncation.
Keywords
reduplication, allomorphy, stress, affixation, truncation
