Investigates all the problem concerning the structure of the word and the way it is formed
Definition:
A word is a dialectical unity of form ang content, independent unit of language to form a sentence by itself
E.g. book, bookish, unlucky, go, eat, lexicology, white - wash,etc.

As we can see above, many of words are made of various smaller meaningful elements: Book Un
+ +
luck
ish +
y
= =
bookish unlucky .etc
These elements are called” morphemes “.
Definition: The minimal meaningful language unit. Characteristic: A morpheme can’t be divided any further into meaningful parts. Morphemes may be difined as the minimal meaningful language units. A morpheme has its sound form and meaning but unlike a word, it isn’t independent and occurs in speech only as part of word although a word may consists of only one morpheme.
There are 2 main types of morphemes: The root morpheme The affixational morpheme.
The root morpheme: Definition: The root remains after moving all the other elements and can’t be analized any fufther.
e.g.
book, luck, white, wash
etc.
The root morpheme: Definition:
The root morpheme is also called the lexical morpheme or just simply the root. It is the primary element of the word and conveys its essential lexical meaning. E.g.
Phone Phonetic Phonetical Phonetics Phonetician Phonology Phonologist
Phonic Phoneme Phonemic Allophone Telephone Telephonic Homephone etc.
The root morpheme: Definition:
Root morphemes are, in genral, free morphemes because they can function independently. Very few roots are bound morpheme because bound morpheme can’t function independently and have to be combined with other morphemes E.g: clude in “ conclude, include, exclude. “or terr in “ terror , terrorize, terrific, terrible “ etc.
The affixational morpheme :
The affixational morpheme is further divided into grammatical morpheme and derivational morpheme.
The affixational morpheme : The gramatical morpheme( inflection or ending ): carries the grammatical meaning only, creates different form of the same word.
E.g. - s in - ed in
“ books “ “ asked, studied “ etc.
The affixational morpheme : The derivational morpheme(lexico - grammartical morpheme ): carries both lexical and grammartical meaning, creates new words.
E.g. .
pre - preffix, premodify,etc. un unlucky, unchange,etc. re reestablish, rebuilt,etc. - ness loneliness, happiness,etc. - ful beautiful, meaningful,etc. - ly slowly, drammaticaly,etc.
The affixational morpheme : Derivational paradigm: It is a new concept to call the system of derivational forms characteristic of a word. When the linguists mention “ paradigm “ they usually mean “ inflectional paradigm
E.g. hope, hopeless, hopelessness,hopelessly.
The types of words: There are 3 types of words:
Simple words: only consists of a root morpheme. E.g: boy, girl, table,truck, green, small, gosh, social,etc. Derived words: consists of a root and one or more erivational morphemes. E.g: teacher, student, amusing, interested, addiction,etc. Compound words: compound word is one that has at least 2 roots, with or without derivational morphemes. E.g: blackboard, ladykiller, happy - go- lucky, white -wash,etc.
