Morphology

After completing this experiment, students will be able to:

  1. Analyze Hindi Word Structure: Identify and decompose Hindi words into their morphological components (root + affixes) with 85% accuracy across different word categories, demonstrating understanding of Hindi morphological patterns.

  2. Apply Add-Delete Methodology: Correctly identify what needs to be deleted from and added to root words to create different grammatical forms, achieving 80% accuracy in morphological transformation tasks.

  3. Understand Hindi Paradigms: Analyze and classify Hindi words according to their paradigm classes, recognizing how words with similar morphological patterns behave consistently across different grammatical categories.

  4. Master Grammatical Features: Correctly identify and apply Hindi grammatical features including gender (लिंग), number (वचन), and case (कारक), demonstrating understanding of how these features modify word forms.

  5. Practice Systematic Analysis: Develop hands-on skills in performing systematic morphological analysis using the interactive simulation, applying theoretical knowledge to practical Hindi word analysis tasks.

  6. Compare Morphological Patterns: Analyze and compare morphological patterns across different Hindi word classes, understanding how different types of words encode grammatical information through word formation.

Learning Focus

  • Morpheme Identification: Decompose Hindi words into root and affix components
  • Paradigm Analysis: Understand how words change across different grammatical categories
  • Add-Delete Operations: Master the systematic approach to morphological transformation
  • Grammatical Feature Recognition: Identify gender, number, and case features in Hindi words
  • Pattern Recognition: Recognize consistent morphological patterns across word classes
  • Computational Thinking: Apply systematic analysis methods to linguistic data

Expected Outcomes

By the end of this experiment, students should be able to:

  • Confidently analyze any Hindi word using the Add-Delete table methodology
  • Identify root words and their morphological variants with high accuracy
  • Understand the relationship between grammatical features and word forms
  • Apply morphological analysis principles to new Hindi words
  • Recognize paradigm classes and predict word behavior patterns
