Quick Review: What is phonology?
3
Phonology is a study of the smallest contrastive units of a language.
4
What two types of segments are signs segmented into?
5
Signs are segmented into holds and movements.
6
During the hold portion of a sign what parameters does that sign have?
7
Handshape Orientation Location Nonmanual
8
During the movement segment of a sign what parameters does that sign have?
9
Handshape Orientation Location (!) Nonmanual
10
LOUSY AWKWARD PREACH

What is morphology?
14
Morphology is the study of the smallest MEANINGFUL units of language and how those units are used to build new words (or signs).

Review Activity
32
In considering phonology and morphology, which of the following signs doesn’t fit with the other on the list? [p49] a. LOUSY b. AWKWARD c. THREE-DOLLARS (In this sign, the three handshape functions as a morpheme] d. PREACH
33
THREE-DOLLARS (In this sign, the three handshape functions as a morpheme]
34
In English, adding “er” to the term “walk” to create “walker” is an example of: [p52] a. creating a process morpheme b. using a form morpheme to create a noun from a verb c. adding a free morpheme to create a process d. a compound word
35
In English, adding “er” to the term “walk” to create “walker” is an example of: [p52] * using a form morpheme to create a noun from a verb
36
In English, emphasizing or “stressing” the first syllable of the word subject instead of the second syllable, is an example of: [p52] a. using a process morpheme to create a noun from a verb b. using a form morpheme to create a noun from a verb c. adding a free morpheme to create a process d. a compound word
37
In English, emphasizing or “stressing” the first syllable of the word subject instead of the second syllable, is an example of: [p52] * using a process morpheme to create a noun from a verb
38
What types of signs differ in their movement but share the same handshape, location, and orientation? [p52] a. compound pairs b. noun-verb pairs c. form morphemes d. cheremes
39
What types of signs differ in their movement but share the same handshape, location, and orientation? [p52] * noun-verb pairs
40
The process of repetition is called: [p54] a. affixation b
The process of repetition is called: [p54] a. affixation b. compounding c. lexicalization d. reduplication
41
The process of repetition is called: [p54] * reduplication
42
The process of adding bound morphemes to other forms to create new units is called: [p54] a. affixation b. compounding c. lexicalization d. attachment
43
The process of adding bound morphemes to other forms to create new units is called: [p54] * affixation
44
The use of affixation in ASL would result in the creation of a: [p54] a. form morpheme b. process morpheme c. lexicalized sign d. reduplicated sign
45
The use of affixation in ASL would result in the creation of a: [p54]
The use of affixation in ASL would result in the creation of a: [p54] * form morpheme
46
Noun-verb pairs provide an example of: [p54] a
Noun-verb pairs provide an example of: [p54] a. creation of a form morpheme b. creation of a process morpheme c. lexicalized signs d. compounding
47
Noun-verb pairs provide an example of: [p54]
Noun-verb pairs provide an example of: [p54] * creation of a process morpheme
48
The creation of a new word by combining two free morphemes is called: [p56] a. noun-verb pairing b. affixation c. incorporation d. compounding
49
The creation of a new word by combining two free morphemes is called: [p56] * compounding
50
The first contact rule applies to: [p57] a. nonmanual markers b
The first contact rule applies to: [p57] a. nonmanual markers b. compounds c. determiners d. the weak hand
51
The first contact rule applies to: [p57] * b. compounds
52
When compounds are made in ASL, internal movement or the repetition of movement is eliminated. This principle is called: [p58] a. topicalization b. reciprocity c. The single sequence rule d. segmenting
53
When compounds are made in ASL, internal movement or the repetition of movement is eliminated. This principle is called: [p58] * The single sequence rule
54
When a right handed signer signs the concept “BELIEVE,” (which is made up from the signs “THINK” and “MARRY”) his left hand is formed into a “C” handshape while the right hand is signing “THINK.” This is an example of: [p58] a. weak hand anticipation rule b. reciprocity c. The simple sequence rule d. prediction rule
55
When a right handed signer signs the concept “BELIEVE,” (which is made up from the signs “THINK” and “MARRY”) his left hand is formed into a “C” handshape while the right hand is signing “THINK.” This is an example of: [p58] * weak hand anticipation rule
56
Movement epenthesis, hold deletion, and assimilation are what kind of rules? [p59] a. Morphological rules b. Phonological rules c. Syntactic rules d. Pragmatic rules
57
Movement epenthesis, hold deletion, and assimilation are what kind of rules? [p59] * Phonological rules
58
The first contact rule, the single sequence rule, and the weak hand anticipation rule are what kind of rules [p57] a. morphological rules b. phonological rules c. syntactic rules d. pragmatic rules
59
The first contact rule, the single sequence rule, and the weak hand anticipation rule are what kind of rules [p57] * morphological rules
60
In the compound sign THINK-SAME, a movement segment is added between the final hold of THINK and the first movement of SAME. This is an example of: [p59] a. the simple sequence rule b. assimilation c. movement epenthesis d. weak hand anticipation
61
In the compound sign THINK-SAME, a movement segment is added between the final hold of THINK and the first movement of SAME. This is an example of: [p59] * movement epenthesis
62
When two signs are compounded, the noncontact holds between movements are eliminated. This principle is: [p41 & p59] a. the simple sequence rule b. assimilation c. hold deletion d. movement epenthesis
63
When two signs are compounded, the noncontact holds between movements are eliminated. This principle is: [p41 & p59] * hold deletion
64
If I do the sign BELIEVE, and at the beginning of the sign my right hand forms on somewhat of a “C” handshape (rather than the typical “1” handshape) what is taking place? [p59] a. assimilation b. sloppy signing c. accommodation d. contamination
65
If I do the sign BELIEVE, and at the beginning of the sign my right hand forms on somewhat of a “C” handshape (rather than the typical “1” handshape) what is taking place? [p59] * assimilation
