Morphology by Madam Parames ;)

In simple term..Kayun's term-according to notes given by Madam Parames :)

Morphology is  the study of word 

Morpheme is the minimal linguistic unit that has meaning or grammatical function

Bound Morpheme is morpheme that can't stand alone and it must be attached to another morpheme

Free morpheme is morpheme that can stand alone

Inflectional Morpheme serves purely grammatical function,never creating a different word but only a different form of the same word

eg: ...happy..happier...happiest

Derivational Morpheme;some morpheme create new words by either changing the meaning

eg: ...happy...unhappy

or a part of speech

eg: ...ripe...ripens

Both inflectional and derivational morphemes are affixes

Affixes is divided into 2 categories

1. Prefixes is added at the beginning of the word
2. Suffixes is added at the end of the word

The derivational morphemes are either prefixes or suffixes

The inflectional morphemes are all suffixes consists of

1. ...s
2. ...ed
3. ...ing
4. ...en
5. ...s(plural)
6. ...er
7. ...est
