Morphology studies the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed.2.Words are the smallest meaningful units of language. 3. Just as a phoneme is the basic unit in the study of phonology, so i

2、s a morpheme the basic unit in the study of morphology.4. The smallest meaningful units that can be used freely all by themselves are free morphemes.5. Bound morphemes include two types: roots and affixes.6. Inflectional morphemes manifest various grammatical relations or grammatical categories such

3、 as number, tense, degree, and case.7. The existing form to which a derivational affix can be added is called a stem, which can be a bound root, a free morpheme, or a derived form itself.8. Prefixes usually modify the part of speech of the original word, not the meaning of it.9. There are rules that

4、 govern which affix can be added to what type of stem to form a new word. Therefore, words formed according to the morphological rules are acceptable words.10. Phonetically, the stress of a compound always falls on the first element, while the second element receives secondary stress.II. Fill in eac

Morphology: Morphology is a branch of grammar which studies the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed. 32. inflectional morphology: The inflectional morphology studies t

18、he inflections 33. derivational morphology: Derivational morphology is the study of word- formation. 34. Morpheme: It is the smallest meaningful unit of language. 35. free morpheme: Free morphemes are the morphemes which are independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by themselves or in

19、 combination with other morphemes. 36. bound morpheme: Bound morphemes are the morphemes which cannot be used independently but have to be combined with other morphemes, either free or bound, to form a word. 37. Root: A root is often seen as part of a word; it can never stand by itself although it b

20、ears clear, definite meaning; it must be combined with another root or an affix to form a word. 38. Affix: Affixes are of two types: inflectional and derivational.

23、 Anwser the following questions: 43. What are the main features of the English compounds? Orthographically a compound can be written as one word, two separate words with or without a hyphen in between. Syntactically, the part of speech of a compound is determined by the last element. Semantically, t

24、he meaning of a compound is idiomatic, not calculable from the meanings of all its components. Phonetically, the word stress of a compound usually falls on the first element.44. Discuss the types of morphemes with examples. Free morphemes: They are the independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by themselves, for example, “book-” in the word “bookish”. Bound morphemes: They are those that cannot be used independently but have to be combined with other morphemes, either free
