In linguistics, the smallest unit of meaning; morphemes are put together to form words, or sometimes a word may consist of a single morpheme Morphemes are themselves made up of phonemes For example, the word "logs" is made up of two morphemes, "log" and "s" -- "s" is a morpheme that is often used in English to indicate the plural
The smallest unit of meaning Any word or part of a word that conveys meaning and cannot be further divided into smaller meaningful elements
Smallest meaning unit in the formation of a word Free morphemes may occur as independent words; bound morphemes always occur within a word attached to a stem or base word
The smallest contrastive unit of grammar A minimally distinctive unit of meaning in the context of a particular language For example, cats consists of two morphemes: cat and -s, the plural suffix The -s is called a bound form while cat is a free (or stand alone) form dogs also has the -s but it is pronounced /z/
the smallest unit of meaning A word may consist of one morpheme (need), two morphemes (need/less, need/ing) or three or more morphemes (un/happi/ness) Suffixes and prefixes are morphemes
a meaningful linguistic unit consisting of a root word or a word element that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts "Pick" and "s", in the word "picks," are morphemes See also: phoneme
A meaningful linguistic unit consisting of a word, such as man, or a word element, such as -ed in walked, that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts
The smallest unit of language that is grammatically significant Morphemes may be bound, ie they cannot exist on their own; eg -er,un-, -ed, mis- ; or they can be free, as is ball in football
A morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning in a language. The words `the', `in', and `girl' consist of one morpheme. The word `girls' consists of two morphemes: `girl' and `s'. the smallest unit of meaning in a language. The words 'so', 'the' and 'boy' consist of one morpheme. 'Boys' consists of two morphemes, 'boy' and 's'. (morphème, from morphe + -eme (as in phoneme)). In linguistics, the smallest grammatical unit of speech. It may be an entire word (cat) or an element of a word (re- and -ed in reappeared). In so-called isolating languages, like Vietnamese, each word contains a single morpheme; in languages such as English, words often contain multiple morphemes. The study of morphemes is included in morphology
A Minimal strech of speech taht has a meaning, either grammatical or independent
minimal meaningful language unit; it cannot be divided into smaller meaningful units
In linguistics, any word or word part that conveys meaning, cannot be divided into smaller elements conveying meaning, and usually occurs in a variety of contexts with relatively stable meaning
The smallest unit of meaning in a language (e g , prefix or suffix) that is combined with other such units in various ways to create words (Solso)
the smallest unit of single or combined sounds that denotes meaning within a given language
the minimal sign, un decomposable in a given synchronic state E g ,retropropulseurs contains five morphemes
A bound morpheme within a complex word which is a fossil and whose meaning is opaque to the present speakers of the language. May refer narrowly to morphemes which occur in a single word, or more broadly to fossilized morphemes generally
A bound morpheme is a prefix or suffix, which cannot stand as a word in its own right, but which, can be attached to a free morpheme and modify the meaning of the free morpheme For example, "happy" is a free morpheme, which becomes "unhappily" when the prefix "un-", and suffix "-ly", both bound morphemes, are attached
