  • Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words.
  • Lexicology is the study of the vocabulary of a language.
  • Lexicography is the study of the inventory of words in a language. INSTAGRAM  instant + photogram Blending of two words, put together two words. It is not a compound  you put two lexemes, Facebook. Hashtag  compound Can a word be a morpheme? It is a building of blocks. Houses is a word but not only one morpheme. Abstract idea. How many morphemes are there in SPEAKS? 2 speak and the third person singular. MOR.PHOL.O.GY What is grammar? Grammar is made up morphology of words and syntax of sentences. If you compound word you have syntax. Morphology is building blocks. UN. BELIEV.ABLE  3 building blocks. BELIEV root/base MORPH  base O  connector vowel LOG  base STEM Y  suffix MORPHOLOGY of words What is a word? It is a single unit of written or spoken language. FRIEND FRIEND.S Plural (inflexion meaning) two words but one meaning. They are two words but are lexemes. In the dictionary we have lexemes Friends is the plural of the lexeme FRIEND

The idea behind UN is not, negative one. In English there aren’t INFIX, they are at the begin or at the end. AFFIX  PREFIX + SUFFIX English is changing. MORPHOLOGY Derivation Inflectional studies how words actually fit the grammatical context not meaning words just because grammar ask me to change that. Inflection  I don’t need to charge to fix the grammar. CLIK.ING  gerund GIRL.S  plural, 3 person and genitive TWEET.ED  past simple Derivation how words change to create new words (affixation)

  • MENT  V/N
  • FUL  N/A
  • LY  V/A
  • NESS
  • EN
  • ABLE DE FRIEND Morphs and morpheme Phisical things written down. Example played
  • Play.ed  two morhps and two morphemes Ed  phisical realization. Play and past (the idea behind)
  • Lost 1 morphs BUT two morphemes LOOSE + PAST
  • Taken 1 morphs BUT two morphemes TAKE + PAST PERFECT ALLOMORPHS are the different phonetic or graphic realization of morphemes. They are alternative realization or variation of the same morpheme. NOT CHANGE IN MEANING. Watches “IS” same morpheme but a variation. Loves “S” Plural morpheme “S” Cats /s/, bags /z/, watches /iz/. They are allomorphs. FREE MORPHEME  lexical morpheme (apple) and functional (the). BOUND MORPHEME  derivational (un, like in unhappy) and inflectional (third person S, ED and ING...) Need to be attached to form a morpheme. UN SUB CON PREFIX OMN PRE NE ROOT is the morpheme which determines the meaning of a word with no affixes attached to it. BASE is the form of a word to which only affixes can be attached.
