PRINCIPLES OF MORPHEMIC ANALYSIS. TYPES OF WORD SEGMENTABILITY. CLASSIFICATION OF MORPHEMES. PROCEDURE OF MORPHEMIC ANALYSIS
The morphemic analysis aims at splitting a segmentable word into its constituent morphemes
The operation of breaking a segmentable word into the constituent morphemes is referred to in present-day linguistic literature as the analysis of word-structure on the morphemic level
Three types of morphemic segmentability of words are distinguished: complete, conditional and defective
Complete segmentability is characteristic of a great many words the morphemic structure of which is transparent enough, as their individual morphemes clearly stand out within the word lending themselves easily to isolation
Conditional morphemic segmentability characterises words whose segmentation into the constituent morphemes is doubtful for semantic reasons
Defective morphemic segmentability is the property of words whose component morphemes seldom or never recur in other words
Semantically morphemes fall into two classes: root-morphemes(the root-morpheme is the lexical nucleus of a ward, it has an individual lexical meaning shared by no other morpheme of the language) and non-root or affixational morphemes
Structurally morphemes fall into three types: free morphemes, bound morphemes, semi-free (semibound) morphemes
