Morpheme

Detailed information is given for each type!

1. MORPHEME ISLOMJON KARIMOV

2. MORPHEME A morpheme might be a word, or might be part of a word. It is "a small unit of language that contains meaning.“ It cannot be divided into smaller meaningful segments without changing its meaning or leaving a meaningless remainder. They can be classified as free morphemes, which can stand alone as words, or bound morphemes, which must be combined with another morpheme to form a complete word.

3. FREE MORPHEMES Free morphemes are considered to be base words in linguistics. Base words that can stand alone. There are two kinds of free morphemes based on what they do in a sentence: lexical morphemes and functional morphemes Book Learn Deliver Pick Bag Table

4. FREE MORPHEMES FUNCTIONAL MORPHEMES Function words serve as a grammatical connection between content words. They are not typically combined with affixes that change their meaning. Articles: the, a, an Demonstratives : this, that, those, these Auxiliary Verbs : will, is, must, does Quantifiers : some, many, few Prepositions : under, over, to, by Pronouns: he, she, his, her Conjunctions : for, and, but, or LEXICAL MORPHEMES Free morphemes that make up the main meaning of a sentence are content words. Their parts of speech include: Nouns : girl, hat, house, fire Verbs : walk, sleep, say, eat Adjectives : quick, nice, fun, big

5. BOUND MORPHEMES AFFIX An "affix" is a bound morpheme that occurs before or after a base. An affix that comes before a base is called a " prefix. “ Ante date Capital ism Dis regard Happ ily Pre historic Garden er Un healthy Kind ness An affix that comes after a base is called a " suffix." ROOTS A root is a form which is not further analysable, either in terms of derivational or inflectional morphology. It is that part of word-form that remains when all inflectional and derivational affixes have been removed. - ceive / - duce re- ceive re- duce de- ceive

6. DERIVATIONAL MORPHEMES Derivational affixes serve to alter the meaning of a word by building on a base. In the examples of words with prefixes and suffixes above, the addition of the prefix un - to healthy alters the meaning of healthy. The resulting word means "not healthy." The addition of the suffix - er to garden changes the meaning of garden, which is a place where plants, flowers, etc., grow, to a word that refers to 'a person who tends a garden.’ It should be noted that all prefixes in English are derivational. However, suffixes may be either derivational or inflectional.

7. INFLECTIONAL MORPHEMES There are numerous derivational affixes in English. In contrast, there are only eight "inflectional affixes" in English, and these are all suffixes. English has the following inflectional suffixes, which serve a variety of grammatical functions when added to specific types of words. -'s (possessive) with nouns *Jane's brother _s (plural) * pens - ing (present participle) *teaching s (3rd person singular) with verbs *she likes -ed (past tense) *played - en (past participle) *forgotten – est (superlative) with adjectives *happiest –er (comparative) *happier

8. All words are morphemes, but not all morphemes are words ? First of all, it is not true that “all words are morphemes” ! Some words are morphemes while some are not. A morpheme is the smallest meaningful grammatical unit in a language, example: cat, like & so on The difference between a word and a morpheme is that a morpheme may or may not stand alone, but a word is always freestanding. A freestanding morpheme is called a root, here you can say that all roots are morphemes but not all morphemes are roots.
