Description
This paper specifically studies the systems of Myanmar modifiers focusing on morphological theories. This analytical study is based on the morphological level. The significant feature of the Myanmar language is that it is a tonal language. Moreover it is a type of monosyllabic and agglutinative language which has a syntactic structure of a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) pattern. Morphology is a branch of grammar and it deals with the internal structure of the potential complex words of a language. Morphology in Myanmar is primarily the system of derivation and affixation. This paper mainly focuses on the derivational system. The aim of this paper is to analyse the modifiers on the basis of their structures and to classify the systems of the Myanmar modifiers focusing on the morphological theories. In this paper, the data were collected from colloquial Myanmar and the Myanmar Dictionary. Most of the modifiers in Myanmar have figurative power so that they can make a speaker's feeling more meaningful and at the same time, they can give imply meaning. Four modifier patterns; rhyme, chime, zero substitution and substitution, are mainly analyzed in this paper. Moreover, sub-patterns based on the derivational morphology and compounding which is a favourite way of coining new technical vocabulary are also categorized. Derivational process generally acts on verbs, turning them into nouns or noun-like expressions that can often function as either nominal or adverbials. In this study, it can be found that verbs are turned into adverbs and can function as adverbials. In compounding, some compounds cannot be substituted (zero substitution) with other words in a certain position, i.e. in A+B pattern, neither A nor B is substituted with C as in A+C or C+B. So it can be found that agglutination is very prominent in such compound processes generally on noun+verb compounds, which can function as adverbials. In addition, it is significant that in some derivations and compound words in Myanmar, rhyming and chiming are intermeshed and have strong agglutinative type that others cannot be substituted between them. In this paper, collective data and findings are illustrated with explanations. This study may be of some help to the Myanmar language teachers in teaching Myanmar as a foreign language. It can also help the foreign students studying the Myanmar language.
