o ĺ The use of morphemes to express certain meanings is optional; it’s only a
question of the language structure, as different languages can use different
means to express their meanings.
o ĺ By what is commonly referred to as ‘grammatical meanings’ we under-
stand meanings that are typically expressed by grammatical means in a certain
language. Similar meanings can be expressed by other, non-grammatical means
in the same language and other languages.
o Approaches to word analysis in Grammar and Lexicology.
o A grammatical category is a set of meanings which are arranged on the
principle of opposition to express the same general notion, and which are sys-
tematically realised by a paradigm of grammatical word forms.
o Types of morphological oppositions:
– binary vs. three-member (tertiary);
– privative vs. gradual vs. equipollent.
