CLASSIFYING GRAMMAR
CLASSIFYING MORPHOLOGY
THE OVERALL PICTURE
Morphemes • minimal unit of meaning or grammatical function • Distinction between free morphemes and bound morphemes
Free morphemes • can stand by themselves as a single word e. g. grace • Can be lexical (e. g. boy, elephant) or functional (e. g. and, but)
Bound morphemes • Cannot stand alone but need to be “bound” to another morpheme, e. g. re-, -ful • Prefixes and suffixes are bound morphemes • Divided into derivational and inflectional
BASE FORMS boy, yes, elephant • No CONSTITUENT PARTS • also called ROOTS or STEMS
PREFIXES e. g. un-, de-, super • meaningful elements • come BEFORE base form • lexical role – allow for the construction of a large number of new words
SUFFIXES e. g. –ness, -ed, -er • meaningful elements • 2 types: DERIVATIONAL INFLECTIONAL
