Hi. In 5:59, you said the noun "motivation" comes from the verb motivate and suffix -ion, can we also divide the verb motivate into 2 more morphemes like motive (noun) and -ate (suffix); if I add these to the tree, would I be wrong? Thank you.
I think you have to sort it so that you never create a new or totally different meaning in the process. Like take "untestable" as an example. The root would be test but if you put the prefix un- first you would create "untest" as in you undo a test, which is not what we are trying to say. If we branch together test and the suffix -able we get testable, which is also not what we are trying to say but it's simply the opposite and not a totally different idea. So first we could group testable and then add the prefix un-. Someone please correct me if I am wrong but this is it as far as I understood.
And with the example in the video: You start by simply changing the part of speech form noun to adjective. You're not even creating a completely new meaning just a different form. Then by adding dis- you are staying in the same word class. Adding -ly changes it aggain. Remember that by drawing trees you are showing the hierachy. I think therefore if you have something like this you add the opposite indicating suffix first before changing the part of speech. Keep looking at examples that your teachers give you or on the internet and you will get a feeling for it. Good luck to everyone learning!
Thanks for this introductory lesson. But how do we know which affix attaches first. Do we attach re to the verb present to create the word represent and then add ation to end up with the word representation or is it the other way round? That is we add ation to present to create the word presentation and then add re to yield the word representation? Which is the right order and how do we know ?!
Excellent videos. Using these with teachers enrolled in my graduate course: Linguistics for ESL Teachers.
I've watched all your videos. However, this is a phenomenon. We can feel the combination of the background music and your voice.
Thanks for the feedback!
You explained so well in every video I've watched! I'm subscribing.
*Hey thanks for those word analysis* 🙏 *it helps me a lot - compound word analysis* 💯
Good Teacher i love it ❤

No it wouldn't be wrong and motivation's root is actually "motive"
why don't we cut disproportionate = disproportion + -ate ? I think it makes sense too
This really simplified it for me. Thank you so much
Great explanation...I love ur channel...plz keep making videos like this
4:03 would it be correct if we first pair up dis- + proportion and then dispropotion + -ate?
Thank you so much for this video
why do you attache first the suffix (-ate) and then the preffix (dis-) ? I didn't got it.
Thank you so much sir🙌🏼❤
This video helped me a lot!
I love this morphology tree😂😂
i loved this.
Wow, great illustration. Helped a lot. Thanks and do more... On Linguistics courses please.
does the word 'motivate' come from 'motive' and '-ate'?
We can separate represent as a prefix 're' and present or not sir ?
Thank you so much for this video! It saved my liife!
How do I know, as a non-native English speaker how and when and why do they combine this way and not in any other? I
how do you know how the affixes was ordered?
Same question
Did you find the answer yet
Would you rephrase the question

How many morphemes are in “investigations”? And what are they?
I need help🙏🏻
why is it proportionate but not dispropotion and then dispropotionate and lastly dispropotionately?
Thanks a lot sir.
What software are you using to draw these?
Hey, can you do the tree diagram for the words: icelandic and festival
wish I had seen this before.
Really really well explained! Enjoyed the video, and also found the calming/erotic voice very good hahah
Sa mga classmate ko Jan, HAHAHA

investigate, -tion, s
(although etymologically, 'investigation' was a word first, and 'investigate' developed as a back-formation from it)
