Quiz #6
Define
morpheme: The smallest mean-ing-ful unit of a word which is encoded by phonemes
lexical morpheme: - semantically autonomous and inflectionable
- open class
- nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, interjections
grammatical morpheme: - non autonomous and non inflectionable
- closed class
- auxiliary verbs,pronouns, prepositions, particles,
conjunctions, numerals
stem - every meaning carrying word without an inflectional
affix.
derived stem - can be a root (zero derivation) e.g. thread (noun)
to thread (verb)
- stem + affix
compound stem - two derived stems or two compound stems
●
What is the difference between inflection and derivation?
- An inflection changes the grammatical meaning of a word (gender, tense, number) whereas a derivation changes the meaning and/or its word class.
●
What is the difference between derivation and compounding?
- Derivations are bound morphemes and therefore they belong to a stem or root.
Compoundings are free morphemes and therefore have meaning on their own.
