Morphology

Follow these steps to perform morphological analysis of Hindi words using the interactive simulation and Add-Delete table methodology:

Step 1: Word Selection and Initial Analysis

  • Action: Click on the "Select Word" dropdown menu.
  • Options: Choose from the available Hindi words (e.g., बच्चा, लड़का, मकान, etc.).
  • Expected Result: The word will be displayed in the interface, and the paradigm table will show all its morphological variants.

Step 2: Understanding the Add-Delete Table

  • Delete Column: What needs to be removed from the root word.
    If nothing is deleted, select None.
  • Add Column: What needs to be added to create the new form.
    If nothing is added, select None.
  • Number: Singular or Plural
  • Case: Direct or Oblique

Step 3: Interactive Analysis Using Add-Delete Table

  • For each row, compare the root word and the target form.
  • Select the appropriate deletion and addition from the dropdowns.
    Use None for unchanged forms.

Step 4: Answer Verification and Learning

  • Submit: Click the "Submit" button after filling all dropdowns.
  • Get Answer: The "Get Answer" button is always available. Clicking it will show the correct Add-Delete table and a supportive explanation, regardless of your input.
  • Supportive Explanation: After submitting correct answers or clicking "Get Answer", a detailed explanation will appear, clarifying why "None" is used for unchanged forms and describing the morphological rules.

Step 5: Practice and Mastery

  • Try different words and paradigm classes.
  • Use "Reset" to clear selections and start fresh.

Tips:

  • Always select None if no deletion or addition is needed for a form.
  • The "Get Answer" button can be used at any time to learn the correct transformations and see explanations.
  • Supportive explanations will help you understand the logic behind each transformation, especially when "None" is the correct choice.

Expected Learning Outcomes:

  • Systematic analysis of Hindi word forms using Add-Delete tables.
  • Understanding when and why "None" is used for morphological
