Terminology[edit]

This should really use more standard linguistic terminology. I am a linguist, and I can't tell what a lot of the terms mean--"sub-morpheme", for example (I think it means allomorph). Or "The current approach to Oriya morphology treat morphology and morphemes as the basic rules involving the linguistic context, rather than as isolated pieces of linguistic matter"--I have no idea what that's saying. Or "Meaning is linked to segmented phonological units, with influences of tone and/or stress"; I think that's saying that morphemes have meanings, which is the standard assumption of linguistics (with some exceptions, see "cranberry morphs"). But I'm not sure what tone has to do with this in Oriya, which is not (afaik) a tone language. The section on "Components of a morpheme" seems not to be about that; rather, it starts out talking about morphemes as components of words (base morphemes and derivational affixes), but then defines allomorphs (which are variant forms of morphemes), then defines homonyms and homophones (rather than doing that, it should refer to the wikipedia pages about these, which are clearer); and then it defines Prefix, Infix, Suffix, Suprafix, Simulfix, and Circumfix, but apparently only prefix and suffix are relevant to Oriya. "Where both free and bound morphemes combine to form another morpheme, the result is called a mixed morpheme." No, there is no such thing.

I guess someone who knows Oriya and linguistics needs to re-write this. 173.79.44.156 (talk) 04:27, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. This reads like someone who speaks Oriya and learnt the term 'morpheme' and ran with it. Let alone inaccuracies, the fact that there are homonyms in Oriya and bound morphemes are a thing isn't what I'd want to read this article for - I'd want to know the cases, verb conjugations, etc. 47.18.244.117 (talk) 14:53, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Oriya language which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 13:00, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
