Lexical morpheme

A morpheme that carries a meaning or refers to a thing or concept. It is a basic building block of words, and its meaning stands alone. It is often a word itself.

Affixation with lexical morphemes

Adding an affix (prefix or suffix) to a lexical morpheme to create a new word. For example, 'un-happy' (prefix) or 'play-ful' (suffix).

Functional morpheme

A morpheme that conveys grammatical function or structure in a sentence. It is used to connect words or phrases.

Function words

Words that are mostly closed-class, meaning their number remains relatively stable. They signal grammatical relationships and include articles, prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions.
