WBE2. IRISH MORPHOLOGY

Оглавление

[Data Analysis; Basic]

Consider the following forms from Modern Irish. The difference between -eoir and -óir is irrelevant to the problem set—they are the same suffix

1 Balsam “to embalm”

2 Balsamóir “An embalmer”

3 Caint “to speak”

4 Cainteoir “A speaker”

5 Foghlaim “to learn”

6 Foghlaimeoir “A learner”

The examples above exhibit a pattern that helps us to identify parts of speech. Explain what that pattern is, and how it fits into our notion of distributional definitions for parts of speech.
