MORPHOLOGY
• Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well as with the semantics of their lexical meanings.
• Understanding how words are formed and what semantic properties they convey through their forms enables human beings to easily recognize individual words and their meanings in discourse.

A. FROM PHONEME TO MORPHEME
• A phonemic analysis is an essential part of any full
description of the language; but it fails to give complete
analysis. No matter how far this line of study is pursued or
achieved, nothing is revealed about the meanings of
utterances in the language. Yet the social function of any
language is to carry information from the speaker to
hearer. Without this, speech would probably not exist.
![Page 16: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A phonological study of language, no matter how
detailed, can tell us nothing about meanings, because
the phonemes themselves have no direct connection
with the content.
They are merely the lingual unit which the speaker
and hearer know the morphemes. For any further
study of language, the morphemes and combinations
of morphemes must be examined.
![Page 17: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
B. WHAT IS A MORPHEME?
• “The smallest syntactic unit in language that carries
meaning, which is used to form a word “is called a “morpheme”. It may be composed of one sound or two sounds, or several sounds. The size of unit of the unit is not important. What is important is that the unit should have meaning and that we should not be able to break it down into smaller units of meaning.
• For example, the word “cats” is composed of two units: “cat” +”s”; the first unit refers to the animal; the second unit refers to the number of animals (more than one). Now, the word “cat” itself cannot be broken down further; “at” itself has a meaning of course; but the meaning of “cat” is not made up of “c” (phoneme) or : “/k/+at”.
![Page 18: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• The other instance: the word “loved”. This is also composed of two units; “love+d”; the first unit refers to the feeling; the second unit refers to time (past tense). But not all “d” sounds (phonemes) have this meaning: in the word “dinner”, we have one unit with meaning. The meaning of the word “dinner” comes from the whole unit and not from “d+inner”.
• Each unit, then, that carries meaning in a language is a “morpheme”. “The study of the way phonemes are combined into morphemes and morphemes into words” is called “morphology” or “morphemics”. Thus “morphology” or “morphemics” as a sub branch of linguistics deals with the internal structure of word-forms.
![Page 19: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
UNTOUCHABLES=UN+TOUCH+ABLE+S
• The basic units of analysis recognized in morphology are
morphemes. Let us consider another unique instance.
The word form of “untouchables” can be segmented or
broken down to show its constituent elements:
“Un+touch+able+s”. Each of these units or segments has
its own form (or set of forms), its own meanings, and its
own distribution.
![Page 20: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Thus, “un-“has the fixed phonological form /n/, a meaning of negation, and recurs in words like “unavailable”, “unbelievable”, “undone”; whereas, the word “touch” has a fixed phonological form and a fixed meaning, and recurs in word-forms like “touched” and “touches”; the suffix “-able” sometimes occurs in words like “advisable”, “comparable”, “debatable”, marketable” etc. “the “s” has a range of phonetic forms (/s, z, iz/) but a constant meaning of plurality, and recurs in words like “cats”, “boys”, “fishes”. (this is what do we called “Allomorph”)
• Then, then segments of “un”, “touch”, “able”, “s” can be further subdivided into smaller segments which function in the same kind of way as they do; each of them represents a “morpheme”.
![Page 21: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
C. RECOGNITION OF MORPHEME.
• A linguist identifies morphemes by comparing a wide
variety of utterances. He looks for utterances which are
partially the same:
![Page 22: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Even in speech we can recognize that words are made up
of parts which have meaning and which can be used in
different words. Consider such words as:
![Page 23: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Apart from elements such as “happy”, “loud”, “slow”,
“quick”, “home”, “dog”, which we recognize as full words,
we can also isolate elements as “-ness”, “-ly”, “-s”.
• We do not recognize these words but we can see how
they are used as units to build the words in the right
column. The words in the left column above consist of one
morpheme each, since we cannot isolate any units within
these words; each of itself constitutes a homogenous unit.
The words in the right column, however, are made up of
more than one on such unit.
![Page 24: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• We have already recognized “-ness”, “-ly”, and “-s” as
units of word formation but we can see that they do not
constitute words in the same way as the units on the left.
This distinction tells us why morphemes are usually
divided into two categories; “free morphemes” and “bound
morphemes”.
• Not all morphemes are easily segmentable as these
examples. But the identification of morphemes is done
entirely by means of this one basic technique – the
comparison of partially similar utterance.

Free and Bound Morpheme
• Analysis at a morphological level is concerned with
structural elements of meaning called morphemes. Morphemes are classified into two types:
• Free Morphemes: girl, boy, mother, etc. These are words with a complete meaning, so they can stand alone as an independent word in a sentence.
![Page 30: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Bound Morphemes: These are lexical items incorporated into a word as a dependent part. They cannot stand alone, but must be connected to another morpheme.
Bound morphemes operates in the connection processes by means of derivation, inflection, and compounding.
![Page 31: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
DERIVATIONAL MORPHOLOGY
• Derivation is concerned with the way morphemes are connected to existing lexical forms as affixes.
• We distinguish affixes in two principal types:
• 1. Prefixes - attached at the beginning of a lexical item or base-morpheme – ex: un-, pre-, post-, dis, im-, etc.
• 2. Suffixes – attached at the end of a lexical item ex: -age, -ing, -ful, -able, -ness, -hood, -ly, etc.

Derivational affixes can cause semantic change:
Prefix pre- means before; post- means after; un- means not, re- means again.
Prefix = fixed before; Unhappy = not happy = sad; Retell = tell again.
Prefix de- added to a verb conveys a sense of subtraction; dis- and un- have a sense of negativity.
To decompose; to defame; to uncover; to discover.

INFLECTIONAL MORPHOLOGY
• Inflection is a morphological process that adapts existing
words so that they function effectively in sentences
without changing the category of the base morpheme.
English has the following inflectional suffixes:
![Page 51: MORPHOLOGY : THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS · MORPHOLOGY •Morphology deals with the syntax/the grammar/the structure of complex words and parts of words, also called morphemes, as well](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/60280c6c0f5819185b77a63c/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
VERB INFLECTIONAL SUFFIXES
• 1. The suffix –s functions in the Present Simple as the third person marking of the verb : to work – he work-s
• 2. The suffix –ed functions in the past simple as the past tense marker in regular verbs: to love – lov-ed
• 3. The suffixes –ed (regular verbs) and –en (for some regular verbs) function in the marking of the past partciple and, in general, in the marking of the perfect aspect:
