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
