Topic: Separable affix

	Affix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An affix is a morpheme that is attached to a base morpheme to form a word.
		Affixes may be derivational, like -ness and pre-, or inflectional, like plural -s and past tense -ed.
		Affixes are divided into several types, depending on their position with reference to the root: prefixes (attached before another morpheme), suffixes (attached after another morpheme), infixes (inserted within another morpheme), circumfixes (attached before and after another morpheme), or suprafixes (attached suprasegmentally to another morpheme).

	Patent 4979613: Separable fastening device (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The separable fastening device comprises a first fastening element of high static vinyl material which is attached to the first surface, and a second fastening element of high static vinyl attached to the second surface.
		Other uses of separable fastening devices include those uses which are incorporated into clothing, disposable articles, and various miscellaneous articles such as safety belts and the like in which it is desirable to create a releasable bond between two or more articles or between several surfaces of the same article.
		Also, due to the fact that the separable fastening device of the present invention does not rely on a conventional adhesive bond, the present invention is not subject to a loss of its bonding properties due to contamination as are the prior adhesive-type devices.

		Separable verbs display a strong-weak stress pattern in subordinate clauses (32a.i), where both parts may be separated by an infinitival marker (32a.ii), or an auxiliary verb (32a.iii).
		Note that if separable verbs were prosodic units in the lexicon, their separability would be a complete mystery, since syntax cannot undo Prosodic Word status.
		While stress-shifting affixes should freely adjoin to a morphologically simplex base that ends in a stressed syllable (54), the same affixes should be blocked with simplex bases that end in an unstressed syllable (55).

	Carol Barnhart Inc. v. Economy Cover Corporation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		However, as long as "conceptual separability" determines whether the design of a useful article is copyrightable, some threshold assessment of art is inevitable since the separate concept that will satisfy the test of "conceptual separability" will often be the concept of a work of art.
		Both the trier determining the factual issue of "conceptual separability" and the judge deciding whether the undisputed facts permit a reasonable trier to reach only one conclusion on the issue are entitled to consider whatever evidence might be helpful on the issue, in addition to the visual impressions gained from the article in question.
		Whether the concept in the mind of the ordinary observer was of a piece of ornamental jewelry separate from the concept of a belt buckle, or only the concept of a belt buckle that could be used either to fasten a belt or decorate clothing at any location was undoubtedly a close question.

	Carol Barnhart Inc. v. Economy Cover Corp. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Since "conceptual separability" is not the same as "physical separability," it should also be obvious that a design feature can be "conceptually separable" from the utilitarian aspect of a useful article even if it cannot be separated physically.
		Stein was decided before the principle of "conceptual separability" was explicitly identified as a criterion of copyrightability of the design of a useful article, it is not surprising that the Court's opinion does not illuminate the distinction between "physical" and "conceptual" separability.
		The utilitarian function is not truly a separate concept for purposes of "conceptual separateness" unless the design engenders a non- utilitarian concept without at the same time engendering the concept of a utilitarian function.

	Carol Barnhart Inc. v. Economy Cover Corp. (1984)
		It concluded that the utility of the mannequins in displaying clothes dominated their creation and purpose, and that the mannequins contained no works of art that could be physically or conceptually separated from the mannequins' function, notwithstanding an art museum's request to display the mannequins.
		The proposed Title II would have provided copyright protection for an exposed middle ground of designs of utilitarian objects in which the designs are not sufficiently separable to stand as independent art works and not sufficiently inventive in their utilitarian function for patent protection.
		The test is whether there is a physically or conceptually separable work of art embellishing the useful article, for it is that work of art alone that can be copyrighted.

	LINGUIST List 12.1680: Luedeling, Particle Verbs
		Cases where the affixes _-ung_ 'event nominaliser', _-bar_ '-able' and _un-_ 'un-' attach to pv's but not resultative constructions are argued to be sensitive not to putative structural differences between the constructions, but to whether or not the affix' input is lexically listed.
		(Affixes like _-er_ allowing unlisted input would lack requirement (a).) Of course, (a) and (b) are, as they stand, stipulations from hell, but if a case can be made for their empirical necessity elsewhere, then we would be closer to a more explanatory account of L's observations.
		If there are no such affixes, we must explain why words and listed phrases behave like a natural class as far as some (but not all) affixes are concerned.

		Prefixes, suffixes and infixes are examples of affixes, such as the “ed” on past tense english verbs.
		Affixes are a type of word fragment that are attached to word stems (the base of the word) to affect its meaning in some way.
		Studying the wide range of forms of agrammatisms and other linguistic impairments provides a useful tool for psycholinguists and neuropsychologists in separating components of linguistic processing (termed “dissociations”) and hence providing a means for testing models of language abilities that propose (or do not propose) separable components in the linguistic mechanism.

	Clitics, affixes and parallel correspondence
		This separation of types of information has led to insightful analyses of "raising" and control phenomena (going back to Bresnan (1982)), and has also shed new light on problems which arose because syntactic arguments and arguments relating to functional structure appeared to point in different directions.
		This to my mind does not indicate affix (as opposed to clitic) status; the kind of irregularities I refer to are to be expected of any bound element and its host.
		One way of achieving this would be to explore the possibility of morphological information representing a separate level of information, thus adding m-structure to c-structure, f-structure and a-structure in the LFG architecture, as proposed by Butt, Niño and Segond (1996) and Frank and Zaenen (1998).

	CAROL BARNHART INC. v. ECONOMY COVER CORPORATION
		In this Circuit it is settled, and the majority does not dispute, that "conceptual separability" is distinct from " physical separability" and, when present, entitles the creator of a useful article to a copyright on its design.
		The utilitarian function is not truly a separate concept for purposes of "conceptual separateness" unless the design engenders a non-utilitarian concept without at the same time engendering the concept of a utilitarian function.
		This cannot be a case of "physical separability," Professor Nimmer maintains, because "physical removal of all utilitarian features of the lamp must include removal of its base," which would "hardly leave the sculptured dancer intact since the dancer is the base." 1 Nimmer, supra, § 2.08[B] at 2-96.1 (emphasis in original).

		This view is disputed by scholars who claim that it is selectional restrictions of individual suffixes that are responsible for the combinatorial properties of suffixes.
		Most recently, Hay (2000, 2002) has proposed a psycholinguistic model of morphological complexity, according to which an affix which can be easily parsed out in processing should not occur inside an affix which cannot.
		The general claim is that affixes can be approximately ordered along a hierarchy of complexity, with more separable affixes at one end, and less separable affixes at the other end.

		This view is disputed, for example, in Fabb (1988) and Plag (1996, 1999, 2002), who claim that it is selectional restrictions of individual suffixes that are responsible for the combinatorial properties of suffixes.
		More separable affixes can attach outside less separable affixes, but not vice-versa.
		Central to this account is the claim that any individual affix occupies a range of separability - it is more separable in some words than in others.

		Terbian is moderately satellite-framed, preferring separable particles that encode directional and locational information in the applicated voices (antipassive, unergative, inversive, and applicative).
		That is, not all morphemes are glossed separately, and some morphemes are glossed in a different order from that in which they actually appear.
		The difference between using an interrogative pronoun and an interrogative verb affix is one of register and focus.

		When the sculptural features and utilitarian aspects are not separable, the work is not copyrightable, although it may be protectable on a more limited basis with a design patent.
		Thus, the industrial design of a unique, aesthetically pleasing chair cannot be separated from the chair's utilitarian function and, therefore, is not subject to copyright protection.
		While [sculptural techniques in creating the forms] may indicate that the forms are "aesthetically satisfying and valuable," it is insufficient to show that the forms possess aesthetic or artistic features that are physically or conceptually separable from the forms' use as utilitarian objects to display clothes.

	Inflating a Dog, Chapter 14
		The affix may be a prefix, such as in-, or a suffix, such as -ize.
		Like the sidecar on a motorcycle, the affix is bound to the Latin root to which it is attached and cannot stand on its own.
		Within a sentence the particle may be separated from the base by other words; the particle functions not like a sidecar but like a sidekick, an associate of secondary degree, a squire who ordinarily rides beside his knight but can, if required to do so, move a few words away without falling down.

		In trying to affix a meaning to such things, we would do well to remember the wave of elation that swept America at reports of what was happening along the so-called Highway of Death: perhaps 100,000 "towel-heads" and "camel jockeys" - or was it "sand niggers" that week?
