- W2315770070 abstract "3.2.1. I t i s no s e c r e t that the process of l e x i c a l I n s e r t i o n i s a mystery f a r from being solved i n the framework of I n t e r p r e t a t i v e or Gene r a t i v e Semantics. Since McCawley's a r t i c l e L e x i c a l I n s e r t i o n i n a T r a n s f o r m a t i o n a l Grammar w i t h o u t Deep S t r u c t u r e (1968) which despite i t s t i t l e does not c l a r i f y but only r a i s e s the issue r e l a t i v e l y l i t t l e progress has been made. I suggest that the concept of l e x i c a l i n s e r t i o n should be supplemented or replaced by the notion of MORPHEMIC INSERTION. For various reasons i t i s impossible f o r me to describe here my views on t h i s problem, or to develop an a l t e r n a t i v e theory of word-formation. A few h i n t s have been given above. As a Sketch, I can add that I l a r g e l y agree with the conclusions drawn i n Kastovsky (1973), and therefore as i n Lipka (1972) embrace many of the assumptions of Generative Semantics. I f , however, as Kastovsky and I b e l i e v e , p r e l e x i c a l elements such as CAUSE DO BECOME NEG are converted i n t o complex l e x i c a l items such as d e m i l i t a r i z e , and the prel e x i c a l element (or atomic p r e d i c a t e ) MILITARY i s replaced by the adj e c t i v e m i l i t a r y * the f e a t u r e BECOME NEG by the p r e f i x d e 9 which i s attached to m i l i t a r y , and the features CAUSE DO by the s u f f i x i z e (Kastovsky 1973:290), then i t must be morphemes that are i n s e r t e d , not PROLEGOMENA TO 'PROLEGOMENA TO A THEORY OF WORD FORMATION' 181 l e x i c a l i t e m s . 3 T h i s , of course, means a ret u r n to surface s t r u c t u r e , although, not at the expense of ne g l e c t i n g underlying s t r u c t u r e ( c f . Kastovsky 1971:8f.). As opposed to Chomsky and H a l l e , one need not redi s c o v e r surface s t r u c t u r e i f one has never given i t up. 3.2.2. At t h i s p oint I should l i k e to sketch b r i e f l y my views on the 'morpheme'. I b e l i e v e that morphemes are the sma l l e s t l i n g u i s t i c s i g n s , i . e . , meaningful observable segments i n which elements of cont e n t (e.g., f e a t u r e s ) are r e l a t e d i n an a r b i t r a r y way to e l e ments of expression. As opposed to some v a r i e t i e s of s t r u c t u r a l i s m I do not r e q u i r e allomorphs, i . e . , p h o n o l o g i c a l l y or morphologically conditioned v a r i a n t s of a morpheme, to have i d e n t i c a l or even s i m i l a r phonic shape. Thus, / i z , z, s, an/, and $ are a l l considered allomorphs of the same p l u r a l morpheme i n E n g l i s h ( c f . L i p k a , 1969). In my view 'morphemes' a r e , t h e r e f o r e , e s s e n t i a l l y u n i t s . This also becomes evident from my adoption of the concept of 'zero' i n l i n g u i s t i c s , s i n c e 'zero-allomorphs' and 'zero-morphemes' have no phonic expression at a l l ( c f . Kastovsky 1968, esp.31-53). Following Weinreich (1966:432f.), I b e l i e v e i t i s useful and d e s c r i p t i v e l y adequate to d i s t i n g u i s h between 'major' and 'minor c l a s s e s of morphemes', which roughly corresponds to the more t r a d i t i o n a l d i s t i n c t i o n between ' l e x i c a l ' and 'grammatical' morphemes. I disagree with Weinreich (1966:433) on the nature of categ o r i a l f e a tures such as [+Noun, +Adjective] which he believes to be semantic i n the full sense of the word. Both c l a s s e s of morphemes then, i n my view, can be represented as a t r i p l e t of f e a t u r e s , which could be termed 'phonological', ' c a t e g o r i a l ' ( a l s o i n c l u d i n g s y n t a c t i c i n f o r m a t i o n ) , and 'semantic' f e a t u r e s . I am f u l l y aware of the f a c t that t h i s i s not s u f f i c i e n t f o r a complete s p e c i f i c a t i o n of l e x i c a l e n t r i e s f o r morphemes i n some type of d i c t i o n a r y or l e x i c o n . Kastovsky's particular analysis in which d e replaces BECOME NEGmay be questioned i f one believes that in the inchoatives b l a o k / e n , r e d d / en, w a r m / 0 (which are homonymous with the corresponding causatives) the suffix e n and the zero-morpheme represent BECOME." @default.
