The Linguistics Zone (1559 words)
In the previous post we discussed morphemes, which are the meaningful parts of a word.
An interesting fact about these word elements is that the number of morphemes contained in a word is completely independent of the number of syllables in the word.
The prefixes and suffixes are usually bound morphemes as they must be attached to the root word.
Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Morpheme (413 words)
In spoken language, morphemes are composed of phonemes, the smallest linguistically distinctive units of sound.
Bound morphemes in general tend to be prefixes and suffixes.
Unproductive, non-affix morphemes that exist only in bound form are known as "cranberry" morphemes, from the "cran" in that very word.
