1. Explain and give example of allomorph!

 allomorph is a variant form of a morpheme. For example, the plural in English has three
different morphs, making plural an allomorph, because there are alternatives. Not all
plurals are formed in the same way; they're made in English with three different
morphs: /s/, /z/, and [əz], as in kicks, cats, and sizes, respectively.

2. Explain and give example of phrasal compounds!

 Phrasal compounds are taken to be word-level structures that combine a lexical head with
a phrasal non-head. Phrase is anything that acts like a lexical units, and a compound is a
compound is necessarily an inseparable unit with a meaning other than the obvious
compositional one. Some examples in English include "middle of the road," "put off" or
"accident prone." Phrasal compounds can function in a sentence as verbs or adjectives.

3. Define passive and anti-passive!

 A passive voice construction is a grammatical word construction that is found in many
languages. In a clause with passive voice, the grammatical subject expresses
the theme or patient of the main verb – that is, the person or thing that undergoes the
action or has its state changed. The antipassive voice is a type of grammatical word that
either does not include the object or includes the object in an oblique case. This
construction is similar to the passive voice, in that it decreases the verb's valency by one –
the passive by deleting the agent and "promoting" the object to become the subject of the
passive construction, the antipassive by deleting the object and "promoting" the agent to
become the subject of the antipassive construction.

4. What is typology?
 Morphological typology is the classification of languages according to their
morphological structure. This classification was first developed by Friedrich von
Schlegel and August von Schlegel, morphological typology groups languages based on
the way words are formed by combining morphemes.

5. Explain and give example of inflection!

 Inflection refers to word formation that does not change category and does not create new
lexemes, but rather changes the form of lexemes so that they fit into different
grammatical contexts. Rules of inflection are almost always fully productive: every verb
in English. For example, has a progressive form with the suffix -ing, and just about every
verb can form a past tense.
 Exp:
 Number In English, nouns can be marked as singular or plural:
Singular cat, mouse, child
Plural cats, mice, children
In the Eskimo-Aluet language Yup’ik, nouns inflect not only for singular and plural, but
also for what is called dual. This is a number-marking that means ‘two’
 Latin or German, know that verbs in those languages are marked for the inflectional
category of person: that is, verbs exhibit different endings depending on whether the
subject of the sentence is the speaker (first person), the hearer (second person), or
someone else (third person); frequently number is also expressed as well as person:

 Gender and Noun Class In languages that have grammatical gender nouns are
divided into two or more classes with which other elements in a sentence – for
example, articles and adjectives – must agree.
