*TYPES OF MORPHEMES* –>
.
.
(a morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit in a ‘language’)
.
(a ‘morpheme’ is not identical to a ‘word’)
The main difference between them is that a morpheme sometimes does not stand alone, but a word, by definition, always stands alone.
The linguistics field of study dedicated to morphemes is called morphology.
(when a morpheme stands by itself, it is considered as a root because it has a meaning of its own (such as the morpheme cat))
(when it depends on another morpheme to express an idea, it is an affix because it has a grammatical function (such as the –s in cats to indicate that it is plural)
.
.
(every ‘word’ comprises 1 or more ‘morphemes’)
