    1.

    Wordtype
    Types of words:

    Monomorphic (root-words) e.g. small, dog, give, make

    Polymorphic:

    a. Derived words = root morpheme + derivational morpheme(s)


    e.g. accept-able,
    out-do,
    dis-agree-able

    b. Compound words (at least two) = root morphemes + (derivational morphemes)


    e.g. pen-holder (pen+hold),
    light-mindedness (light+mind),
    eye-ball (eye+ball),
    lamp-shape (lamp+shape)

    2. Stem type
    Simple stems: monomorphic, phonetically identical with the root morpheme
    e.g. retain, motion
    Derived stems:defined on the basis of derivative relations between simple stems and
    affixes
    e.g. girlish (girl+ish)
    Compound stems: composed of at least two steams
    e.g. diving-suit, matchbox

    3. Root morpheme
    A morpheme which is the basic part of a word and which may occur on its own.
    It’s that part of word left when all the affixes are removed.
    e.g.
    Man, hold, walk, book, face, house

    Roots may be joined to other roots:

    e.g.
    House+hold = Household
    4. Inflectional morpheme
    This type of morpheme alters the grammatical function of a word,
    whether it be the verb tense, number, mood, or another language inflection.

    The eight inflectional morphemes are organized by which part of speech they modify:

    Modify a Noun: -s (or -es), -'s (or s')


    Modify an Adjective: -er, -est
    Modify a Verb: -ed, -ing, -en

    -sthird-person singular plural


    -edpast-tense
    -ing progressive
    -en past participle
    -splural
    -‘s possessive
    -er comparative
    -estsuperlative

    PRZYKŁADY:
    Do – does, doing, did, done
    Help – helps, helping, helped
    Comfort – comforts
    Child – children, children’s

    5. Derivational morpheme
    Tworzenie nowych słów, często wiąże się ze
    zmianą klasy słów (części mowy)

    Prefixes:
    pre- un-
    non- anti-
    dis- mis-

    Suffixes:
    -ize -ine
    -ary -ate
    -ion -less
    -ers -ness

    PRZYKŁADY:
    Do – doable, doer, doing(s), outdo, misdo
    Help – helping, helper, helpless
    Comfort – comfortable, comforter, uncomfortable, comfortless
    Child – childlike, childless

    6. Free morpheme
    Morphemes that can stand alone to function
    as words are called free morphemes.

    PRZYKŁADY:
    undesirable (desire)
    pen-holder (pen & hold)
    facebook (face & book)

    7. Bound morpheme
    Morphemes that can only be attached to another part of a word
    (cannot stand alone) are called bound morphemes.
    PRZYKŁADY:
    pre-, dis-, in-, un-, -ful, -able, -ment, -ly, -ise

    8. Root morphemes may be both: free and bound!


    PRZYKŁADY:
    theor- (in: theory, theoretical)
    horr- (in: horror, horrible)

    9. Stem
    That part of a word that occurs BEFORE an inflectionalaffix(which is
    or can be added)
    The stem of a word may be:
    A simple stem – zawierajedenmorfem(a root) e.g. WORK
    A root + derivational affix. e.g. WORKER (work + er affix)
    Two or more roots e.g. WORKSHOP (work + shop)

    PRZYKŁADY:
    ask, asks, asked, asking
    singer, singer’s, singers’
    ROOT VS.
    STEM
    ➤ ROOT: podstawowa forma słowa; słowo bez afiksów
    ➤ STEM: podstawowa forma leksemu, do którego dodaje się
    afiksy derywacyjne
