Syntax are the rules that are followed in grammar applied to phrases and…

searching for patterns among them and categorized according to several common features. Then I jotted down all the related words--synonyms, antonyms, homophones, and so forth--to forge a chain of words conducive to memorization. And if by magic, morphemes, the underlying rules of words, broke down those convoluted words into merely a combination of information pieces. Having grasped this time-saving, simplistic learning method, I not only streamlined English…

Ling-Yu Guo and Sarita Eisenberg examined whether the outcome of language sample analysis in the total number of words (TNW), number of different words (NDW), and mean length of C-units in morphemes (MLCUm) differed in 1, 3, 7, 10, or 22 minute language samples. (Guo & Eisenberg, 2015, p.144) Children participating in this study were from the ages of 3;0 to 3;11. There were a total of 29 girls and 31 boys.
