[ verb ] consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning
Examples "analyze a sonnet by Shakespeare" "analyze the evidence in a criminal trial" "analyze your real motives" Used in print (H. A. Gleason, "Review of African language studies...)The great majority of present-day linguists fall_into one or more of a number of overlapping types : those who are convinced that tone cannot be analysed , those who are personally scared of tone and tone_languages generally , those who are convinced that tone is merely an unnecessary marginal feature in those languages where it occurs , those who have no idea how to proceed with tone analysis , those who take a simplistic view of the whole matter . And the more complex the morphophonemic_system is in_relation_to the phonemic base , the less easily a phonemic_system will be analysed without close attention to the morphophonemics - at_least , the less satisfying will a phonemic statement be if it cannot be related through morphophonemic rules to grammatically meaningful structures . |
