Topic: Dog catcher


  
  Morphology (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Therefore, these speakers intuit that dog is to dogs just as cat is to cats, or encyclopædia is to encyclopædias; similarly, dog is to dog-catcher as dish is to dishwasher.
The first sense of "word," the one in which dog and dogs are "the same word," is called lexeme.
In the exposition above, morphological rules are described as analogies between word-forms: dog is to dogs as cat is to cats, and as dish is to dishes.

Dog is to dogs just as cat is to cats, or encyclopedia is to encyclopedias; dog is to dog-catcher as dish is to dishwasher.
In other words, the syntactic rules of English care about the difference between dog and dogs, because it determines which form of the verb must be used; but in contrast, no syntactic rule of English cares about the difference between dog and dog-catcher, or dependent and independent.
For example, it's easy to think that in dogs, we have the root dog, followed by the plural morpheme -s; the same sort of analysis is also straightforward for oxen, with the stem ox, and a suppletive plural morpheme -en.

 The Walter Lantz Cartune Encyclopedia: Cartune Profiles: Wally Walrus
Wally conducted an orchestra of comical animals in two entries in Lantz's "Musical Miniature" series (The Overture of William Tell and Kiddie Koncert).
Wally was also appropriately cast as the dog catcher in one of the best Andy Panda cartoons, Dog Tax Dodgers (1948).
In this short, Andy attempts to avoid paying the dog tax and tries to keep his hound, Dizzy, hidden from the suspicious walrus.
