The Mighty Morphemes (TMM) is an international group working on issues regarding the conservation, research and linguistic, formerly named the Mighty Morphemes. TMM was founded in 2014.

Our symbol is simple and unique we are several individuals who are from different color. Ethnically we have variation in our language especially in English but our members are mostly native English speakers. Our venture in linguistic 101 is opening up our minds to semantics, phonology, phonology and more and we have learned a lot throughout the couple of months that have  passed. As a group we enjoy making weird noises while holding our throats to classify sounds linguistically with our leisure time, which has made us as a group much stronger.

Mohammad Sabir Abbassi

Raul Millan.

Age: 20

Height: 5’7

Weight: 140 lbs

Raul loves to read, play video games, and has a passion for soccer. Although he thinks it should be called futbol. His favorite movies include Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Taken. In terms of linguistics, Raul’s strengths are semantics and syntax. He enjoys creating syntax trees out of random sentences to see how they interact with each other and create an infinite amount of sentences. He thinks that semantics are amazing because of the different meanings words can take. Being fluent in both English and Spanish is something he takes great pride in because he is 2 languages closer to learning the 7,105.

Seth Rubero

age: 18

Height: 5’9’’

Weight:160lbs

Seth enjoys long walks on the beach and getting caught in the rain… oh and linguistics too

Seth’s biggest weakness is semantics. Analyzing sentence structures has never been easy for him, but he’s working on it. Seth’s biggest strength is definitely morphology, affixes come naturally to him. His first language is English, but he has been studying Spanish since he was 15 years old and is now almost fluent. Being (almost) bilingual gives Seth a unique perspective on linguistics, and allows him to appreciate language more.

Kat Tharp

 Age: 18

Height: 5’8”

Weight: 125 lbs

After spending 18 years braving the cold New Hampshire winters, Kat decided to try the most drastic change of scenery possible and move to San Diego, CA. Kat is a native English speaker, but has been studying Spanish since middle school and has become practically fluent over the years. But don’t she doesn’t plan to stop there; Kat has many languages she hopes to learn over the years. She plans to one day travel the world teaching the English language and learning about other languages and cultures all around the world. While morphology is her strong suit, Kat tends to get stuck on trees. Especially those of the syntax variety. But that won’t stop her from doing what she can to become a strong linguist.

Name: Sydnie Gilinsky

Age: 19

Height: 5’4”

Weight: 120 Lbs

Sydnie hails from the suburbs of Oregon, finding refuge now under the towering palms and sweet breezes of San Diego. She is a starving English major with a knack for poetry but some disdain for structure. That being acknowledged, Syntax harbors the most crucial struggle for her. Speaking Spanish for 5 years should lend her a helping hand in certain areas, however she has not yet figured out exactly how she can apply these skills. Nonetheless, linguistics fosters a few areas crucial to her skillset, such as exploring phonetics and phonology, as well as the basic design features and theories of language. Sydnie finds that the idea of language at its core being universal is both a fascinating and horrifying idea, but trudges on in the battle to better understand the cogs of linguistics.
