Language is progressive; it constantly goes through changes in terms of shapes, spellings and sounds. Words are formed and restructured constantly as a way to accommodate to the needs of its users. These words will then spread throughout the societies that apply the languages in their lives. One of the ways to create new words is by using blends. Blending is not a stranger in the Morphology of English language. Blending is the morphological process of creating new words by merging parts of two or more words together in which the meanings of these new words are often the mixture of the original words. These parts are not always derived from morphemes. Previously, famous classic writers such as William Shakespeare were also responsible in creating …show more content…
The linguists have different definitions for blends. According to Katamba (2002), blends are compounds made in an unconventional way by piecing together parts of word-forms belonging to two different lexemes. Bauer (1983) described blend as a new lexeme designed from parts of two or more words in a way where there is no clear analysis into morphs. Conferring to Fromkin and Rodman (1998), “two words may be combined to produce blends.” Blends are comparable to compounds but parts of the words combined are erased and so they are less than …show more content…
Clipping: The shortening of two words before compounding them a. Clipping is divided into two parts; apocope and procope. i. Procope clipping indicates that the first element of the word is erased. ii. Apocope clipping indicates that the final element of the word is erased. b. Margarine (Oleomargarine) i. This is procope clipping as the first part of the word is erased. c. Specs (Spectacles) i. This is apocope clipping as the ending part of the word is erased. 3. Phonemic Overlap and Clipping: The shortening of two words to shared syllable before compounding. a. Geomatics (Geography + Mathematics) i. A branch of science that analyzes the data concerning the earth's surface. According to Laurie Bauer (1983), there are four structural formation methods of blending. The first method is by combining the beginning of the first word and the last element of the second source. The second method is to merging each beginning of the source words. The third method is by coining the two blended words around common sequence of sound. The last method is combining multiple sounds from two components combined
Using coordinates or simple objectives allows the ability to make proper determination. Geographic data allows identifiable information to be offered to subscribers with the encouragement of geographical indicators. Display tools offer a realism of visual effects and the most applicable advantages. Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, spatial statics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Systems of these nature offer geographers collaborative and analyzed information far more unique than traditional research techniques (Geographic Information Systems as an Integrating Technology: Context, Concepts, and Definitions,2015). Lastly, geographic reality and space relation must be gathered using input and output of data and formulaic sequences, but the tools make them applicable to user.
Chapter 1 Outline: 1. Geography a. Human geography i. Study of human activities and where and why they are located where they are. b. Physical geography i. Study of natural forces and where and why they occur c. Place and Region. i.
Texting is ubiquitous in modern Western society. It's a convenient way to communicate basic ideas quickly without having to commit to a phone conversation or the long wait for a letter. All of this is done through cellular phones on the go and many teenagers have subscribed to this method of communication as their primary one. When texting, it is customary to abbreviate certain words in order to save time. These abbreviations can be considered a language that evolves out of texting, and that language can be referred to as textspeak.
With this statement, Mackinder makes a claim and says that no rational political geography can function without being built upon the ideas of physical geography. He says the idea of political geography is currently based upon no principles of physical geography and must not be considered a true discipline. This defines the complex and typically unseen relationship between political and physical geography, “Geography is like a tree which early divides into two great branches, whose twigs may none the less be inextricably interwoven.” (Mackinder 159). After Mackinder makes an interesting claim about how the rivalry between physical geographers and geologists are perceived.
The number of different word roots is defined as it sounds. Different word roots are similar to free morphemes but are measured by calculating all the words that do not have the same root. For example, the word "ball", no matter how many times it is used, will be calculated as one word. Total main body of words are calculated by totaling all the words within a
1. Cartographer – a person who makes maps The people in this book, this play, this TV serial are not meant to represent any actual painters, cartographers, mechanics anywhere. 2. Dictum – saying There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! 3.
Finally, geography shapes us by requiring us to research place locations and their cultural and geographical characteristics in order to function more productively in our increasingly autonomous environment. Geography has a significant impact on people's lives all over the world. It is one of the factors that contributes to cultural diversity, mobility, social interaction, and even aids in our understanding of physical systems that have an impact on daily
However, that is incorrect. IMINT, or Image Intelligence, is “the technical, geographic, and intelligence information derived through the interpretation or analysis of imagery and collateral materials.” GEOINT (Geospatial Intelligence), on the otherhand, uses images and “information that identifies a natural or constructed feature on Earth by its geographical location and other characteristics.” Basically, GEOINT is the combination of imagery, IMINT, and geospatial information, as defined by US Code. 2.
A combination of two different nouns that are governed by a single noun or verb to create a new meaning or blend ideas together. “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise, friend called Piggy” (Lord of the Flies, P.202). At the end of the novel, the boys are involved in a war against Ralph using fire to smoke him out of the thicket. Scared for his life, Ralph sprints away from the painted warriors before arriving at the beach.
Geography impacts society, cultures, the economy, politics, and the environment around the world. To dig deeper and know why geography affects a variety of things the definition of this world should be known. Geography is the study of where things are found on Earth’s surface and the reasons for their locations. It is studied everywhere from countries in Asia to cities in The United States, such as Houston, Texas. Houston, Texas is a city of more than 2.3 million people.

1. How does the discipline of geography provide a bridge between the social sciences and the physical science? Geography can be described as the most interdisciplinary of disciplines. Geography is the study of our planet 's landscapes, peoples, places and environments, global issues, the human impact on the environment and also, the interconnectedness of the world and our communities within it. Human geography takes into account the dynamics of cultures, societies, and economies, and physical geography studies the physical landscapes and the environment.
-Describe how atypical development may impact on areas of development. The different aspects of children's development are interlinked and co-dependent, so they will each be important to the child's holistic development. Children's overall development and educational needs will be affected by the way in which they develop in key areas. As children grow and pass different milestones or key points, they will gradually become more independent and less reliant on those around them in preparation for the future.
Physical geographers apply the positivist approach in trying to understand the physical world. Bennett defines positivism as “a philosophy of meaning, of what you say that something is true, when you offer it as something which others must also accept because it is, according to some allegedly neutral standard true” (2009, 310). In this paper the way in which geographers use the positivist theory to understand the physical world will be discussed along with the advantages and limitations of using this method. There are a host of factors involved in the positivistic approach to physical geography. Physical geography is viewed by many as being hands on work with less theory.
