Need Serious Help with Linguistics / Jabberwocky

Post Reply New Topic

I have this assignment where I need to come up with eight instances of semantics, syntax, and morphology in Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. I need to explain why we can make sense of this poem because of them.

Trouble is my textbook is bad, my professor is barely accessible, and I don't really know anyone that well in my class to ask for help.

Anyone out there know anything about linguistics?

I know a little about linguistics and I'm familiar with "Jabberwocky" and those "slithy toves".

OK then...any theory for this poem then as far as those three elements of linguistics are concerned?
