| Citazioni | Morphemic analysis is the operation by which the analyst isolates minimum meaningfull elements in the utterances of a language, and decides with occurrences of such elements shall be regarded as occurrences of "the same" element. This operation does not constitute all of grammatical analysis: when it is completed, there remains the task of describing the arrangements in which the minimum meaningful elements occur, and - where the same elements are observed to occur in more than one arrangement with a difference in meaning - the features other than morphemes (the "tagmenes") that are involved. For this latter phase, I have proposed the term "tactics". |
