MOR112 - Compounding 

We confine ourselves to 15 minutes per video, since longer videos of this kind are hard to cope with. This means that we have to decide which aspects of a topic are most important. We will mention compound stress in a further video about suprasegmental aspects of PDE phonology.

I've been watching your videos for several hours straight, now. I'm sure at least some of us could cope with a longer video here or there just fine. Either way, twenty minutes is a healthy length. Love your videos. Fascinating stuff.

This is the best teacher on RU-vid

excellent explanation...as a teacher teaching morphology i like such a sort of explanation which covers all aspects of compounding..

Intresting, thank you Profesor Handke

As said in the video: Synthetic compounds are special types of endocentric compounds where the head always has a verbal base (in our example "bus-driver", "driver" is the semantic head, where "driver" is a derivative of the verb "drive").Copulative compounds, by contrast, do not have a true semantic head at all. In our example "fighter-bomber", both, "fighter" and "bomber" could be the semantic head.

Thats amazing thx 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, very well explained, I wished you had explained the stress in compounds.

you have a really cool board

Tank you!

Thank you :)

Thank u alote i wish all proofs are like u.

I like your lessons a lot, thank you so much. I am thinking of doing a project on compounding and blending. Could you please give me some suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I really profited from this lecture of yours. Could you please upload the difference between a morph and a morpheme in detail? i watched one of yours but that lasted only a minute and wasn't of much help to me. I anticipate your positive response as soon as possible.

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did understand the difference between endocentric and exocentric compound, It did help me!! What can you say about: Iron man? Or Spider man? Do you think is a kind of endocentric or exocentric compound? Or is it another kind of compound? I ask because I would like to use those examples in oral presentation at the university. I hope your answer

thanks

I can not see the diference between exocentric X coopulative compounds nor between endocentric X synthetic compounds. :(

Hello, I would like to thank you for your very helping and interesting videos. My question is : how do we know that a compound is coordinate or subordinate ?

I record my thanks...

Well, twenty-ish. =P
