Morphology Research Papers Samples For Students

Introduction

Language is not static. Many factors contribute to it instead being dynamic – continually changing, developing and evolving over space and time. Part of that evolutionary process concerns the morphology of the language – the way words are formed and the rules that govern their formation; an important element in pedagogy, facilitating the teaching / learning of the language in part by understanding those rules and utilizing them as elements of the instructional framework. This paper examines how the English language including its word structure and vocabulary has evolved / morphed over time, and discusses how the morphology of the English ...

In the studying how the human species evolved, a lot of astonishing discoveries, great public interest as well as a great level of controversy have always been involved. Since the early twentieth century the discovery of new hominid fossils has altered the widespread perceptions held concerning how our species evolved. Piltdown Man and Ramapithecus are examples of these new discoveries (Szpak, 2014). The objective of this discussion is to address Australopithecus with regard to migration and subsistence habits.
With its first appearance being in Africa about 4.2 million years ago and later diversifying into various forms, australopithecines is a broad group ...

Introduction

Bryophytes represent the oldest plants inhabiting the land, with some scientists putting its age to approximately 400 million years. Although a single plant is very small when viewed in isolation, their presence in forests is very conspicuous with some forests having a large mat cushioning trees trunks, rocks, and walls in the woodlands. Bryophytes comprise of three major taxonomic groups which are Bryophyta, Marchantiophyta, Anthocerotophyta. For this lab report, three species of Mosses, which is in the Bryophyta group and two species of Lichens will be used.
The behavior of mosses in relation to absorption of water and the antiseptic ...

Compare and Contrast to Natural Language Processing

Computational linguistics is relatively new and fast developing science. In the future the results of the researchers’ work on it may bring changes to many aspects of life and economy, such as businesses, marketing, professional services, etc. Computational linguistics collaborates with many disciplines, such as Psychology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, etc.
Natural language processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence, computer science, and linguistics dealing with the interactions between human (natural) languages and computers. NLP is related to the field of human-computer interaction. A lot of challenges in NLP involve understanding of natural language, ...

The Spanish language uses masculine and feminine determiner articles. The masculine article is el. It would be found before masculine words such as cielo. Meanwhile, the feminine article is la. It is utilized before feminine words such as cara. It should be noticed that nouns ending in o are partnered with el while nouns ending in a use the article la. However, this is not always the case, especially with words that end in neither o nor a. The words mano, radio, and moto are 0three of the exceptions among nouns. One would think the article to use with these ...

Introduction

Anthrax is an infectious disease that is primarily caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis (spore-forming bacterium). The spores of B. antracis is often associated with gastrointestinal anthrax and inhalation cutaneous. The spores are highly ineffective in most environmental conditions. Inhalation anthrax is considered as a great threat since it is caused by inhalation of anthrax spores and is associated with high fatality rate. However, the rate of person-to-person rate is rarely observed. (Sternbach G. 2003)
In the wild, anthrax is commonly observed (naturally found). The disease is also observed unvaccinated domestic animals. The disease is common among U.S workers ...

Abstract

In this condition, which affects one in every 8,500 people the chest and/or abdominal organs have their position inverted on the saggital plane, constituting a perfect mirror image. The relations between the organs are the same, so normally it won’t bring any harm to the patient with such condition. The onset of the situs inversus begins in the embryonic stage, when the tubular structure that will be the heart forms its loop.
However, there are situations of heart defects associated with this condition (or of other organs) and such represent much more severe risks for the patient. ...

Skeletal muscles are complex and highly specialized group of cells that are not isomorphic but can be categorized in a heterogeneous group with different qualities. This heterogeneity of the skeletal muscles is important because ensures different sets of functions that skeletal muscles perform in the human body. This heterogeneity also enables a significant ability of the human organism to adapt to different conditions in life (Pette and Staron 2000). In addition of this heterogeneity, skeletal muscles also posses the ability of plasticity. This means that muscle cells can evolve and adapt to different stimuli and change their characteristics (Tavi and Westerblad ...

The purpose of this experiment was two-fold. Firstly it was to synthesize shape-controllable Copper Oxide (Cu2O) under alkaline conditions by using hydrothermal methodology. Secondly it was to measure and evaluate its application for photocatalytic degradation of direct blue dye 53 also commonly known as Direct Blue 53 or Evans Blue. Materials used for the first step were Cu2O and the two reactants, CuCl2.2H2O and NaOH. The temperature during the hydrothermal process was raised from 80°C to 140°C. Two products were synthesized: a) the Cu2O nanorod and b) a mixture of Cu2O nanorod and Cu2O nanocubes.

Hydrothermal temperature was found to ...

Fossil record has its place in development and advancement in sciences. Data from fossil record have helped in understanding various issues with humans and animals. The amount of information provided by available fossil record is enormous. Some of the information is undoubted fossil occurrences while some are questionable regarding the occurrence.
There are several benefits associated with the use of morphological features that are from fossil records especially those that are related to the metazoan taxa. It helps to improve our understanding of the general diversity patterns that exist among the metazoan taxa. The various diversities that have ...

Diamond has several applications: it is used for decoration, to manufacture high quality stereo equipment in addition to being included in cutting instruments. It is therefore important to determine the quality of the diamond. This can be done a simple, nondestructive method that is known as Raman spectroscopy. This method is used in the characterization of the morphology of the molecules of carbon materials. The bands that are detected on the Raman spectrum are dependent on the frequency of the vibrations which is attributed to the bonds within the molecule. This technique has several applications in diamond science: it is ...

Abstract

Language is a system of transmitting views and expressing ideas in form of speech or in written forms. The vocabulary of any language is a lexicon and it is serves as a connection between a sign and its meaning in any language. Therefore language is divided in three parts: signs, meaning, and a code connecting signs and meanings. In any Language there are four levels which are used to analyse the language. These levels are: Phonology which analyses sounds; Morphology which analyses units forming a language structure; Syntax which analyses rules and principles in forming sentences; and Semantics which analyses the relationship between signs and ...

Did Human Bipedalism Evolve from a Knuckle-walking Ape Ancestor

Introduction

The narratives of human evolution are one of the oft-told scientific stories whenever the topic of the origin of man crops up. However, this topic is also one of the thorniest and most highly contentious. There are major disagreements in the manner in which man first came to be, and every interpretation of almost every new find on the matter will be sure to find opposition among scholars on the field (Harcourt-Smith & Aiello, 2004). While there are numerous causes of disputes ...

Introduction

The concept of European integration was created in the post-Second World War period. The initial objective was to encourage countries to unite by building stronger economic and industrial cooperation. Originally, the European Union (EU) was created as a common market, but it eventually evolved into a political alliance. The origin of the EU has been marked by two key components, namely, the formation of a common market devoid of internal boundaries between the cooperating member states and political alliance. The birth of European integration roughly five decades ago was centered on the formation of a common market. The formation ...

In the United States, heritage language is simply the language that is spoken by immigrants and their descendants. In a social-political context, the languages that are vocalized by the larger percentage in the host country are the official languages while the heritage language is associated with the minority. Heritage speakers are the offspring of immigrants born in the host country or the children of immigrants who came to the host country at the time they were born. Simultaneous bilinguals are the heritage speakers who are brought up speaking both the majority and the heritage language (Montrul 4). Contrariwise, sequential bilinguals ...

INTRODUCTION

Human beings have always had a fascination with primate species; in them, many see similar morphology, behaviors and interactions most reminiscent of humans. This has spawned years of endless dedicated study and the development of a new anthropological branch, primatology. These are people dedicated to the understanding of how primates live, how they structure their society, how they learn and how intelligent they are? The great apes, like Chimpanzees and Gorillas have recieved a great deal of attention, but they are not the only primate species of great interest to primatologists, the capuchin monkey is, as well. Capuchin monkeys got their name ...

Introduction

The cheetah ( Acinonyx jubatus) is the fastest land animal with a widely quoted speed of 71 miles per hour or 32ms-1 however time trials under controlled circumstances show that the top speed is somewhere around 29ms-1 or 64 miles per hour (Sharpp, 1997). The Cheetah is uniquely adapted for speed and very few other land mammals can boast of such physiological specializations. Cheetah is a member of the group Felidae and they are unique in many ways. To start with, the African cheetah is the only species in the genus Acinonyx. Out of the 37 species in the cat family, cheetah ...

Developmental psychology primarily focuses on childhood development since it is the period within which a lot of changes take place. This field focuses on the interplay of nature and nurture and their influence on individual development; with nature concerning matters of genetic inheritance and maturation whereas nurture focuses on the impact of our environment and experience. As mentioned earlier developmental psychology focuses on a number of areas including language development.
Language refers to the expression of human communication through which knowledge, belief and behavior can be expressed using a system of symbols and rules. Language development begins quite early in life ...

INTRODUCTION
Psycholinguistics is a branch of applied linguistics which is concerned with the study of how word meaning, sentence meaning, and discourse meaning are computed and represented in the mind (Field, 2003).Psycholinguists study the manner in which complex words and sentences are produced in speech and how they are broken down into their constituent parts in the processes such as listening and reading .Basically, psycholinguistics is concerned with the understanding of how language is ‘done’.
Linguistic communication inherently involves the resolution of uncertainty over a potentially unbounded set of possible signals and meanings. The problem ...

Introduction

Policy makers and the general public have been at pains to answer the questions they are confronted with about the intricacies of lesbians and gay men. Questions are abound ranging from whether they are mentally ill to whether the much publicized conversion therapies result to a change in orientation. Questions have also been asked about their stereotyped propensity to molest children. Such scathing thoughts and remarks are fed by stereotypic cultural undertones that many a times depict gay men and lesbians as criminals, immoral, sick and every description that falls short of what our society considers ‘normal’. The implicated individuals have ...

Critical period is a hypothesis in linguistics on whether language acquisition is linked to age. According to Davutoglu (152), this hypothesis states that there is an ideal window of acquiring language in an environment that is linguistically rich. Hence, from the hypothesis, after this period, language acquisition becomes hard, and it requires a lot of effort to learn. The crucial time to acquire language is before a person reaches adolescent so long as sufficient stimuli are provided. Therefore, after the critical period, an individual never acquires full competency in learning a second language.

However, evidence of this is limited, and people rely on ...

Structure and Function of lobes in the cerebral cortex

In human brain, the largest part is the cortex. This part has the task of undertaking functions, which include action and thought. Human brain cerebral cortex comprises of four sections identified as lobes; temporal lobe, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, and occipital lobe. Temporal lobe has the role of perception, as well as recognition of memory, speech, and auditory stimuli. Parietal lobe on its own is linked to the movement, stimuli perception, recognition, and orientation. The frontal lobe is associated with problem solving, emotions, movement, parts of speech, planning, and reasoning. Finally, occipital lobe has the role of visual processing ( ...

One can find many parallels in the origins and evolution of Urdu and Bengali. As two prominent members of the Indo-Iranian language group, both exhibit similarities in phonology, morphology and syntax and share a linguistic ancestry rooted in Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian. As such, it is not surprising to find that both emerged at approximately the same time period (circa 1100 A.D.) in the Indian sub-continent. Yet despite some notable technical and historic similarities, Urdu and Bengali managed to grow as distinct and different branches of the Indo-Iranian family tree. In part a linguistic expression of Mughal expansionism and military power, ...

Homo Erectus

The evolution of the vertebral column has been quite unclear ascribed to limited fossils of Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene hominids. However, the few samples discovered, have contributed significantly to the development of knowledge in line to evolution and understanding of the postcranial skeleton or otherwise the hominids. The distinctive features which encompass dental and cranial pieces avail the earliest evidence of hominids and their existence (Jurmain, Kilgore &Trevathan, 2009). The immediate hominid ancestors, as well as the modern humans, are discerned from apes by more perceptible features than the teeth and jaw dimensions (Jurmain, Kilgore &Trevathan, 2009). Examples of the ...

Differentiate between the biological significance of race and the social construction of race

Introduction

Race is diverse and can be perceived from different perspectives depending on the context; for instance the scientific point of view of race is usually different from the social constructs of the subject (Foster, 2002). This paper attempts to highlight the differences between the biological significance of race and the social construction of race.
The biological approach to defining race implies that there is the existence of division in human beings with respect to their natural and physical characteristics, which are considered to constitute the hereditary factors. Foster (2002) argues that this hereditary factors are manifested in ...
