Morphology
After completing this experiment, students will be able to:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
