    Study Notes

    Morphemes and Morphology

    • A morpheme is defined by three criteria: it is a minimal unit of language, it has a meaning or function, and it cannot be broken down further into smaller meaningful units.

    Morphology

    • Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words, including the formation and composition of words and their relationships with each other.

    Inflectional Paradigms

    • Morphology studies the internal structure of words, including inflectional paradigms, which focus on the variations in form of a word that indicate grammatical features such as tense, case, and number.
    • The main focus of inflectional paradigms is the patterns of variation in the form of a word that convey different grammatical meanings.

    Examples of Morphemes

    • The word 'straight' is an example of a derived word, which is a word that is formed by adding one or more affixes to a root morpheme.
