LEXEME

A lexeme is a word in an abstract sense. Lexemes can be thought of as sets of word-forms, and every word-form belongs to one lexeme. That is, the part that does not alternate in the whole set of words in the same family

Types of morpheme

FREE MORPHEME

Morphemes that can stand alone to function as words are called free morphemes. They comprise simple words and compound words. That is to say, can stand alone as own word

For example: flower, sun, bake, cook, etc.

BOUND MORPHEME

Bound morphemes are those morphemes that need to be associated with a word. Cannot stand alone, these words need a derivational or inflectional morpheme

For example:

Suffixes: less, ly, ness, etc.

Prefixes: pro, un, in, etc.

DERIVATIONAL MORPHEME

Can occur only in combination they are parts of a word. They may be lexical morphemes (such as {clude} as in include, exclude, preclude) or they may be grammatical (such as {PLU} = plural as in boys, girls, and cats).”

Derivational morpheme changes the meaning of the word or the part of the speech

For example:

English for You


INFLECTIONAL MORPHEME:

Inflectional morphemes represent relationships between different parts of a sentence. For example, -s expresses the relationship between the verb and the third-person singular subject; -ed expresses the relationship between the time the utterance is spoken (e.g., now) and the time of the event (past).

These morphemes don’t change the meaning of the word or change the grammatical category of it.

  AFFIXATION An affix is a group of letters that are generally added to the beginning or the end of a root word that can change the word's meaning. SUFFIXES Suffixes are syllables added to the end of words to change or add to their meaning. They often change a word’s part of speech, thereby also changing how the word functions in a sentence. Suffixes tell you whether a word is a person, place, or thing (a noun); an action or state of being (a verb); or a modifier, which is a word that describes (an adjective or adverb). In other words a suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the end of a word to make a new word PREFIXES Prefixes are syllables attached to the beginning of words to change or add to the meaning of the root word in some way A prefix is a letter or group of letters attached to the beginning of a word that partly indicates its meaning.

8.ENDOCENTRIC AND EXOCENTRIC COMPOUNDS

ENDOCENTRIC AND EXOCENTRIC COMPOUNDS Compounds words are words that are made by the combination of two or more free morphemes. The compound words are semantically divided into two categories: Endocentric and exocentric compounds. -  Endocentric compound nouns It is a kind of compound in which one element acts as the head and the other as its extension, ascribing a property to the head. In addition the head expresses the compound's central meaning. Examples: Newspaper, textbook, classroom, handbag and bookstore Textbooks Word On Wood Stamps  -  Exocentric compound nouns The exocentric compound is a compound construction without a keyword, that is, it doesn't have a head. They also don't look like what they say. Examples: Scarecrow, redhead, pickpocket, showoff and paperback. Pickpocket Word Cloud Concept REFERENCE Hacken, P. t. (2017). The semantics of compounding .
