being the world's worst morphology fan on main right now but literally every time I use/think a word that has the "de-" prefix I almost melt like that's such a fun prefix and I love that it just means the removal of the noun following it. like. idk why.

#hghhhggh I love this prefix so much #and literally for what reason??#but literally so many words that have that prefix are funky like that #like. debone is so funny to me for some reason when I think of it as a prefix word #defog is classy #I also love deform like... get your form removed. so funny to me #anyways once again in “I am literally the only person to ever think of morphology like this”#I. need to figure out if we even have morphology classes #like ok technically morphology is one of the like.. idk. subgenres? of linguistics?#fields of study or whatever #but like. I Know my uni has nobody who teaches specifically linguistics #like we have morphophonology in the phonology classes #but like. thats how phonology affects the morphemes based on how phonology 101 went #and I want. the other kind #like.. idk. is it more syntax or more semantics to do the pattern recognition but on morphemes #like you have. appear and disappear and agree and disagree and from those two pairs u can guess what the morpheme is and what it means #yknow?#linguistics posting #morphology my belovedest #like unironically went to uni over the fact that when I was 8 I figured out morphemes and nobody told me what those are #and then when I went to uni on their public opening day #(idk if thats a thing in other places but like. to convince ppl to sign up?)#((they have booths for all the different majors and they all try to sell you on going to them))#anyways the linguistics people had a presentation and they explained what linguistics actually is #and uhh #thats when I learned that thing I'd been subconsciously doing for all my life to understand and communicate is actually a field of study #anyways the autism is strong and just so happens to be about the laws of language so yknow #heard “pattern recognition to understand how language works” and was sold even before day 1 #like absolutely went “ok so linguistics absolutely easy first major”#(then. tbh shouldve gone for general ba instead of trying literature. wouldve been easier to leave if it came to it)
