Writing Assignment #1

Consider the following English words:
forbid, forget, forgive, forgo, forswear

What evidence is there for them being complex? What evidence is there for
them being simplex? Which do you think they are?

Although there is a right answer, there are good reasons to argue in either direction; I’m more concerned with your argument being morphologically sound and well-reasoned than with just getting the right answer, so be sure to explain your thinking and cite pages from the textbook. Should be about 300 words.

Submit your assignment as either a .pdf attachment, .docx attachment, or Google Doc link to me at joseph.pentangelo@csi.cuny.edu by 6:40pm on Thursday, 29 February.

Please save your file with the name “Ling 350 [Your last name] WA1” (so, for example, mine would be “Ling 350 Pentangelo WA1”). This is to help me keep track of who’s submitted what.
