We have taught 3 main subjects from Linguistics course. These are:
1- Morphology (morph,allomorph,phonologically conditioned,..)

2- Grammar (what is grammar, traditional/generative grammar, prescriptive/descriptive approaches, structural analysis, )

3- Syntax (structural ambiguity, deep/surface structure, structural ambiguity, diagrams...)

My question is that there are a lot of points and subjects which I should comprehend and make inferences from. but I cannot be sure whether I am ready for this final exam or not. Should memorize, or just read and make do with one remained in mind? Are definitions are important?
Please help me clarify my mind with possible questions.

Let us presume that along one axis, we may distinguish analytic languages, with few or no suffixes or other morphological processes from synthetic languages with many suffixes. While along another axis, we may distinguish agglutinative languages, where suffixes express one grammatical property each, and are added neatly one after another, from fusional languages, with non-concatenative morphological processes. Discuss.

I like a clever question that requires a play on words answer. I also like the kind of free association Buk does.
