1. Introduction to Russian phonology and word structure
Ch 14: Kinds of morphemes, and simple transcriptions

2. Q&A
2. What are all the possible/actual shapes of Russian roots?

3. Q&A
2. Basically, all Russian roots must end in a consonant, and must have at least two segments, the rest is optional. Here are the shapes:
CVC {bed}, VC {uk}, C#C {b#r}, C1VC2VC3 {golov}, where C2 is either {l} or {r} and V is either {e} or {o}
Note that C can stand for a consonant cluster as well as a single consonant, but V cannot stand for a vowel chain (with rare exceptions like паук, аист), and there are fused roots such as {bogat}

4. Q&A
3. Define derivational and inflectional. What kind of morpheme are prefixes? An inflectional suffix can also be called an ending.

5. Q&A 3. Define derivational and inflectional.
Derivational: A morpheme that creates a new word with a whole new paradigm is derivational, as in:
редкий + ость > редкость
глупый + ей-ть > глупеть
пере + водить > переводить (so prefixes go here)
Inflectional: All the endings that are part of the paradigm of a word are inflectional morphemes
