1. Content words and function words
  • Content words
    Content words are words that have meaning. They can be compared to grammatical words, which are structural.
  • Function words
    Function words (also called functors) are words that have little lexical meaning or have ambiguous meaning and express grammatical relationships among other words within a sentence, or specify the attitude or mood of the speaker. 
2. Morphemes
  • a meaningful morphological unit of a language that cannot be further divided (e.g. in, come, -ing, forming incoming ).
3. Word vs Morpheme
  • Word
    a single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing, used with others (or sometimes alone) to form a sentence and typically shown with a space on either side when written or printed.
  • Morpheme
    Morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit in a language. A morpheme is not necessarily the same as a word.
4. Morphology
  • is the study of words, how they are formed, and their relationship to other words in the same language.
5. Discreteness of Morphemes
  • It is as a result of several distinctive meanings of some words. A morpheme is the smallest unit of a word that cannot be analyzed further.
6. Bound and Free Morphemes
  • Bound
    walk or run with leaping strides.
  • Free Morphemes
    free morpheme is a morpheme (or word element) that can stand alone as a word. It is also called an unbound morpheme or a free-standing morpheme.
7. Rules of Word Formation( Derivation and Inflection)
  • Derivation
    in descriptive linguistics and traditional grammar, the formation of a word by changing the form of the base or by adding affixes to it.
  • Inflection
    the action of inflating something or the condition of being inflated.
8. Root, Stem and Base.
  • Root
    the part of a plant which attaches it to the ground or to a support, typically underground, conveying water and nourishment to the rest of the plant via numerous branches and fibers.
  • Stem
    the main body or stalk of a plant or shrub, typically rising above ground but occasionally subterranean.
  • Base
    the lowest part or edge of something, especially the part on which it rests or is supported.
9. Classification of English Morphemes
  • A "morpheme" is a short segment of language that meets three basic criteria:

1. It is a word or a part of a word that has meaning.

2. It cannot be divided into smaller meaningful segments without changing its meaning or leaving a meaningless remainder.

3. It has relatively the same stable meaning in different verbal environments.

  • Free and Bound Morphemes

There are two types of morphemes-free morphemes and bound morphemes. "Free morphemes" can stand alone with a specific meaning, for example, eat, date, weak. "Bound morphemes" cannot stand alone with meaning. Morphemes are comprised of two separate classes called (a) bases (or roots) and (b) affixes.

A "base," or "root" is a morpheme in a word that gives the word its principle meaning. An example of a "free base" morpheme is woman in the word womanly. An example of a "bound base" morpheme is -sent in the word dissent.

10. Morphological Analysis
  • Morphological analysis (MA) is a method for identifying, structuring and investigating the total set of possible relationships contained in a given multidimensional problem complex.
