Assalamualaikum wr.wb..Good morning everybody! How are you today? I hope you've a best day. Do you know what is morphology? Have you ever learn about morphology? OK....
Morphology is concerned with the structure of words. Morphology can be defined as the study of morphemes. Morphemes are the smallest meaningful in language. There are two kinds of morphemes, those are: Free morphemes and bound morphemes.
1). Free morphemes are elements that can stand alone as independent words.
E.g. dog, car.
2). Bound morhemesmorhemes are elements that cannot occur by themselves as independent words.
E.g. -s,- ing, -ed.
If we learn about the morphology we will study some terms those are:
a) morph
Morph is the real of morphemes
b) alomorph
Alomorph is the name for a form which has known the status.
Example : (s) : /P,T,K/
(Z) : /b, d, g, v, i/
c) stem
Stem is combination between preffix and suffix
Example : trustful
d) root
Root is basic words.
Example : courage
e) suffix
Suffix is the morphemes which occur after the stem.
Example : -ness ( distrustfulness)
f ) preffix
Preffix is the morphemes which occur before the stem.
Example : en- ( encourage)
g) affix
Affix is addition of words
