The closed class is the functional category of words that are not derivable.

Explanation
The closed class refers to functional categories, such as prepositions, conjunctions, and pronouns, that cannot be derived from other words. These categories are considered closed because they have a limited number of members and do not easily admit new words. Therefore, the statement that the closed class is the functional category of words that are not derivable is true.

Which is not an example of derivational morphemes?

Explanation
The given examples show various derivational morphemes that change the meaning or part of speech of the base word. In the case of "walk --> walked," the suffix "-ed" is added to form the past tense of the verb "walk." The meaning of the word does not change, nor does the part of speech.

Which choice describes the basic properties of derivational morphemes?

Correct Answer
A. Derivational morphemes are affixes that can change the meaning or parts of speech of words.

Explanation
The correct answer is that derivational morphemes are affixes that can change the meaning or parts of speech of words. This means that when a derivational morpheme is added to a word, it can alter its meaning or change it into a different part of speech. For example, adding the derivational morpheme "-er" to the verb"teach" creates the word"teacher," which is a noun that means "a person who performs the action of teaching."

Derivation rules can be applied only once to a stem to produce new lexical items (e.g. friend --> friendly).

Explanation
Derivation rules can be applied multiple times to a stem to produce new lexical items. For example, from the stem "friend," we can apply the derivation rule "-ly" to create the word "friendly," and then apply another derivation rule "-ness" to create the word "friendliness." Therefore, the statement that derivation rules can only be applied once to a stem is false.

This a famous sonnet, by Olavo Bilac, a Brazilian poet. It is a declaration of love for the Brazilian Portuguese language. Right in the first verse, the poet makes a reference to the origin of Portuguese, which was the last neolatin language to arise. Also, it is called "inculta" because it did not develop from Classical Latin, but from Vulgar Latin. Yet, it is still beautiful.

As any good poetry, the true meaning of the words must be found beyond the surface, and it might not be an easy task. So, check the video below to understand it more profoundly.
