Morphemes

 Morphemes are the smallest units in a language that have meaning. They can be
classified as free morphemes or bound morphemes.
 A word consists of one or more morphemes. A word containing only one morpheme is
called monomorphemic.
Examples. Cat, dog, and catalog.

Characteristics of Morphemes:
1. It is a word or a part of a word that has meaning.
Example. Cats
'cat' represents a small furry animal and the suffix '-s’ at find at the end of the word
'cats' represents plurality

2. It cannot be divided into smaller meaningful segments without changing its


meaning or leaving a meaningless remainder.

Example. Ca- , -at


Dividing the word 'cat' into 'ca-' leaves us with a meaningless set of letters while '-at' is
a morpheme in its own right.

The teacher will discuss the characteristic of morphemes and explain the example 'cat' represents
a small furry animal and the suffix '-s’ at find at the end of the word 'cats' represents plurality,
and dividing the word 'cat' into 'ca-' leaves us with a meaningless set of letters while '-at' is a
morpheme in its own right.
 What is free morpheme?

Free Morphemes
 Free morphemes can stand alone and don't need to be attached to any other morphemes to
get their meaning.
 a morpheme in a word that gives the word its principle meaning

The teacher will explain that free morphemes can exist independently, and they are what we call
root words or based words.

 Free morphemes can exist independently as individual words.


 They are considered to be root or base words in linguistics.
 Most free morphemes can be modified by affixes to form new words.
 There are two kinds of free morphemes based on what they do in a sentence: content words
and function words.

 Give me an example of a free morpheme?

After the students give their examples of free morphemes, the teacher will give additional
examples.
Examples:

Content Words Function Words

Nouns: girl, hat, house, fire Articles: the, a, an


Demonstratives: this, that, those, these
Verbs: walk, sleep, say, eat
Auxiliary Verbs: will, is, must, does
Adjectives: quick, nice, fun, big Quantifiers: some, many, few
Prepositions: under, over, to, by
Pronouns: he, she, his, her
Conjunctions: for,, but, and, or

 What is bound morpheme?

Bound Morphemes
 Bound morphemes have no linguistic meaning unless they are connected to a
root or base word, or in some cases, another bound morpheme.
 Bound morphemes are morphemes that cannot exist independently and must be
used together with a base word.

 What is an affix?
 Can you give examples of words with prefix and suffix?

 Affixes are bound morphemes that occur before or after a base word.
o Prefixes come before the base word. Typical prefixes include ante-, pre-, un-, and dis-.
Antedate
Prehistoric
Unkind
Disappear
o Suffixes are attached to the end of the base or root word. Some of the most common
suffixes include -er, -ly, -ism, and -less.
Taller
Friendly
Feminism
Fearless
