In
linguistics
, a
morpheme
is the smallest
grammatical unit in a language. In other words, it
is the
smallest
meaningful
unit
of
a
language.
The
field
of
study
dedicated
to
morphemes
is
called
morphology
.
A morpheme is not identical to a
word
, and the principal
difference between the
two is that a
morpheme
may
or
may not
stand alone, whereas
a word, by definition, is freestanding.
When it stands by itself, it is
considered as a
root
because
it has a meaning of its own (e.g. the
morpheme
cat
) and
when it depends on another morpheme to express an
idea, it is an affix because it
has a
grammatical function (e.g. the
–
s
in
cats
to indicate that it is
plural).
[1]
Every word
comprises
one or more morphemes.

Classification of
morphemes[edit]
Free and bound
morphemes[edit]
Every
morpheme
can
be
classified
as
either
free
or
bound.[2]
These
categories
are
mutually
exclusive, and as
such, a given morpheme will belong to exactly one
of them.
Free morphemes can function
independently as words (e.g. town, dog) and can
appear with other
lexemes (e.g. town
hall, doghouse).
Bound morphemes appear
only as parts of words, always in conjunction with
a root and sometimes
with other bound
morphemes. For example, un- appears only
accompanied by other morphemes to
form
a
word.
Most
bound
morphemes
in
English
are
affixes,
particularly
prefixes
and
suffixes.
Examples of
suffixes are -tion, -ation, -ible, -ing, etc.
Bound morphemes that are not affixes are
called cranberry morphemes.

Classification of
bound morphemes[edit]
Bound morphemes
can be further classified as derivational or
inflectional.
Derivational
morphemes[edit]
Derivational morphemes,
when combined with a root, change either the
semantic meaning or part of
speech
of
the
affected
word.
For
example,
in
the
word
happiness,
the
addition
of
the
bound
morpheme -ness to the root happy
changes the word from an adjective (happy) to a
noun (happiness).
In the word unkind,
un- functions as a derivational morpheme, for it
inverts the meaning of the word
formed
by the root kind. Generally the affixes used with
root word are the bound morphemes.
Inflectional morphemes[edit]
Inflectional
morphemes
modify
a
verb's
tense,
aspect,
mood,
person,
or
number,
or
a
noun's,
