(a) (b) (c) (d)
(1) (i) (iv) (ii) (iii)
(2) (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
(3) (ii) (iv) (i) (iii)
(4) (iii) (ii) (iv) (i)

List – I List – II
(a) articulatory phonetics (i) compact-diffuse
(b) acoustic phonetics (ii) fricative-affricate
(c) auditory phonetics (iii) pitch, loudness
(d) distinctive feature (iv) fundamental tone
Codes :
(a) (b) (c) (d)
(1) (ii) (iv) (iii) (i)
(2) (i) (ii) (iv) (iii)
(3) (ii) (iv) (i) (iii)
(4) (iii) (ii) (iv) (i)

3. The mutual exclusiveness of a pair of sounds in a certain phonetic environment is termed as
(1) Free variation
(2) Elision
(3) Complementary distribution
(4) Syncopation

4. Functional relationship between two rules where application of one rule prevents a feeding relationship is termed
(1) Feeding ordering
(2) Bleeding ordering
(3) Counter-feeding ordering
(4) Counter-bleeding ordering

5. Assertion (I) : Sound segments are sonorant if they exhibit spontaneous voicing
Assertion (II) : Sound segments are sonorant if the suppression of air is below that of the level of glides
Codes :
(1) Both (I) and (II) are correct (2) (I) is correct and (II) is false
(3) (I) is false and (II) is correct (4) Both (I) and (II) are false.

6. When all the affixes are taken out of the English word ‘ungrammaticality’, the remainder is called a
(1) Base
(2) Stem
(3) Root
(4) Morpheme

7. A branch of morphology, that usually takes what is called an item-and-process approach and instead of analyzing a word form as a set of morphemes arranged in a sequence, a word form is regarded as the result of applying rules that alter a word form or stem in order to produce a new one, is
(1) lexeme-based morphology
(2) word-based morphology
(3) morpheme-based morphology
(4) phonotactic morphology

8. A hypothesis, which entails that syntactic transformations operate on syntactic constituents only, and can only insert or delete designated elements, is
(1) Base-Rule Prykothesis
(2) Lexicalist hypothesis
(3) Separation hypothesis
(4) Distributed morphology

9. Assertion (I) : In grammar, clitic refers to a form which resembles a world.
Assertion (II) : In grammar, clitic refers to a form that is dependent on a neighbouring word in a construction.
Codes :
(1) Both (I) and (II) are true
(2) (I) is true and (II) is false.
(3) (I) is false and (II) is true.
(4) Both (I) and (II) are false.

10. Assertion (I) : An Endocentric construction refer to a group of syntactically related words
where one of the words is functionally equivalent of the group as a whole.
Assertion (II) : An Exocentric construction refers to a group of syntactically related words where some words are functionally equivalent to the group as a whole.
Codes :
(1) Both assertion (I) and (II) are false. (2) assertion (I) is true and (II) is false.
(3) assertion (I) false and (II) is true. (4) Both assertion (I) and (II) are true.

11. Assertion (I) : Deixis subsumes those features of language which refer directly to the personal, temporal or locational characteristics of the situation within which an utterance takes place.
Assertion (II) : The notion of deixis has proved fruitful in language acquisition studies where researchers view its acquisition/learning by children as a significant feature of early language development.
Codes :
(1) Both (I) and (II) are correct. (2) (I) is correct, (II) is incorrect
(3) (I) is incorrect, (II) is correct. (4) Both (I) and (II) are incorrect.

12. Assertion (I) : Strong crossover occurs when the pronoun is in an argument position, i.e. it is an argument of the relevant verb and is not contained inside a noun phrase.
Assertion (II) : Weak crossover occurs when coreferential reading is marginal i.e. when the coreferential reading is not clearly unacceptable, but is rather unlikely to occur. Here, the expression that has been crossed over may be a possessor inside a noun phrase.
Codes :
(1) Both (I) and (II) are correct. (2) (I) is correct, (II) is incorrect.
(3) (I) is incorrect, (II) is correct. (4) Both (I) and (II) are incorrect.

(1) Wh-movement
(2) Deletion
(3) Topicalisation
(4) Scrambling
