Morphosyntactic Features: Categories, Phi-Features, and Syntax
Morphosyntactic Features and Word Classes
Morphosyntactic features affect the semantics of words. Minimal sets: nouns can be singular or plural. Two ways of thinking of morphosyntactic features: car [-plural] vs. cars [+plural]. A feature is present or absent in a word = privative features. Or binary valued: car [number: singular] vs. cars [number: plural]. A feature has one of two values. Not all features have the same properties (semantic effect or morphology). Category features: allow us to classify
