Morphology.
Free morpheme.
Bound morphemes.
A free morpheme is ones that can be
uttered alone with meaning, such as the
words that we saw earlier:
▪ Book.
▪ Table.
Some examples:
▪ Bag.
▪ Deliver.
▪ Learn.
Dis- -ly
Un- -ness
Pre-
▪ Pick.
All of these
morphemes.
Mostly refer to morphemes that can occur
as affixes. The affixes which precede free
morphemes (words) are called prefixes,
and those which follow free morphemes
(words) are called suffixes.
