Morphology as a linguistic discipline. Morphological structure. Morphological units: morpheme, thematheme and lexeme. Characteristics of organization of form and content on the level of morphology. Derivational and inflectional morphology. Morphology and phonology in interaction. Morphonology. Morphology and syntax in interaction. Morphosyntax. Methods of teaching morphology. Morphology and types of language. Diachronic and synchronic morphology (in dialectic interaction).; Contemporary approaches to traditional grammatical concepts: variant words forms/invariant word forms, inflection/derivation, word stem/ending, types of afixes, word classes, paradigm, sandhi changes, derivation/composition, the relation between inflection and derivation. Contemporary grammatical approaches: generative phonology, lexical phonology, rules, use of rules, limitations, morphotaxis, relation between morphology and syntax; approaches: word & paradigm; item & arrangement and item & process.

Learning outcomes at course level:

1. To explain fundamental concepts and analytical approaches in the study of morphology; 2. To compare and critically evaluate traditional and contemporary grammatical descriptions of language; 3. To evaluate the adequacy of approach to selected linguistic material at the morphological level of linguistic description; 4. To use appropriate analytical tools in the morphological analysis of the selected linguistic material; 5. To provide competent argumentation in academic disciplinary discussions on morphology
