Match List – I with List – II:

List – I (Term)	List – II (Definition)
A. Anaphoric word	I. A unit of language that cannot be analysed into smaller units.
B. Morpheme	II. Refers back to a word or phrase previously used in a text/conversation.
C. Antecedent	III. Use of two or more words to express a meaning which could otherwise be expressed in a single word.
D. Periphrasis	IV. A word or phrase that is referred back to by a pronoun or other proform.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.

Let us break down the definition of each linguistic term step-by-step to understand why this mapping is correct:

1. A. Anaphoric word maps to II. Refers back to a word or phrase previously used in a text/conversation.
In linguistics, anaphora is the use of a word (often a pronoun) that refers back to an earlier word or phrase for its meaning. For example, in the sentence "John arrived, and he sat down," the word "he" is an anaphoric word because it refers back to "John." Therefore, A corresponds to II.

2. B. Morpheme maps to I. A unit of language that cannot be analysed into smaller units.
A morpheme is the smallest grammatical and meaningful unit in a language. It cannot be divided into smaller meaningful segments. For example, the word "unfriendly" contains three morphemes: "un-" (meaning not), "friend" (the root), and "-ly" (forming an adjective). None of these individual units can be split further into smaller parts that carry meaning. Therefore, B corresponds to I.

3. C. Antecedent maps to IV. A word or phrase that is referred back to by a pronoun or other proform.
An antecedent is the noun, noun phrase, or clause that a pronoun (or other proform) refers back to. Returning to the example "John arrived, and he sat down," "John" is the antecedent to which the pronoun "he" refers. Therefore, C corresponds to IV.

4. D. Periphrasis maps to III. Use of two or more words to express a meaning which could otherwise be expressed in a single word.
Periphrasis (also known as circumlocution or roundabout speech) is a grammatical or stylistic device where a multi-word phrase is used instead of a single word. An example is saying "the brother of my father" instead of "my uncle," or using the auxiliary phrase "more beautiful" instead of the inflected form "beautifuller." Therefore, D corresponds to III.

Combining these matches, we get:
A ⇒ II
B ⇒ I
C ⇒ IV
D ⇒ III
