ReplyDelete1. Define 'morpheme'
ReplyDeleteWhat does 'morpheme' mean?
How many morpheme are there in 'morpheme'?
Morpheme is a minimal unit of words that carries meaning and cannot be divided. All morphemes have their meaning. When you put phoneme together, it becomes a morpheme. For example, the word “house”, it is a combination of letters and we suppose to know each sound of the alphabets and when we pronounce all the sounds together. It becomes a morpheme. In addition, just like morphemes "Un-" and "In-", they can be added as a prefix or suffix. When they added to a root word it becomes a Bound Morpheme. Free Morpheme basically means a morpheme that can stand alone and carries semantic meaning. There are 2 morphemes in the word "morpheme" which are "morph + eme".
------------------------------------
2. What are you looking at when you see a word? For eg ; 'dog' what are you looking at?
When we see a word, we look at the use of words, its meaning, sounds (pronunciation), spelling and image or picture. For example, when I see the word “dog”, it will automatically appear its image/picture in my mind as it is in my mental lexicon, then I will look at each sound of the letters and then the pronunciation of this words. Next, I will look at its meaning and the use of this word whether it can be used as a noun, pronoun, verb or others.

1.) Morpheme is the smallest linguistics unit that has a meaning or grammatical function. Smallest meaningful unit in the word. There are 2 morpheme in 'morpheme' which is morph+ eme.
2.) Usually when we see a particular word, we must be able to classify whether we are familiar with that particular word or not, how to use the word and how to pronouns the particular word. Moreover, we also know when we should use the word. When we say we know a word, this means that we already have that particular word in our mental lexicon storage; this is when we are able to image the picture or sound of the particular word. For an example, the word "dog" would make us imagine the colour and the image of a "dog”.
3.) I don’t know the meaning of 'lollapalooza'. When an unfamiliar word is introduced to us we tend to say we don't know that word maybe because the word is simply not stored in our mental lexicon, and because we don't know the meaning or other necessary elements which are required for us to recognise the word.
4.)There are 4 kind of information which needed when we know a word:
*Phonological Information
*Morphological Information
*Syntactic Information
*Semantic Information
5.) The information we get from Book dictionary is the correct spelling, can learn new words, to find or double-check the meaning of a word we encounter, to find the right word to use, affixes, morpheme.
6.) The different term for Lexicol Categories is grammatical structures and part of speech.

What does 'morpheme' mean?
How many morpheme are there in 'morpheme'?
A morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit in the grammar of a language. A morpheme can be either a word or it can be just an element of a word. None of these morphemes can be broken up into smaller parts without losing all semantic meaning.
Morpheme consists of 2 types; Bound morpheme and Free morpheme. Free morpheme are those words which can stand alone as words in a language.

ReplyDelete1. Morpheme is the smallest unit of the word that brings meaning for language unit or certain grammatical function. Units of of grammatical function include forms used to indicate past tense or plural. Usually morpheme refers to a single word or root word. This means a morpheme can stand by its own without any prefix or suffix. For example, "written" consist of two morphemes. one minimal unit of meaning is "write", and a minimal unit of grammatical element "en" is indicating past participle form. There are two types of morpheme which is known as Free morpheme and Bound Morpheme.
Morpheme is divided into two which is`morph` is known as a meaning of shape and `Eme` is a meaning of unit.
There are two morphemes in "morpheme"....
Morph + eme.
2. When we are looking at word,first of all it should have in our mental lexicon. It is because when it is in our mind then only we can look for its meaning.after that, we need to consider about the spelling of the word and also the pronunciation of the word. Besides that, we also need to have the picture of the word, the usage of the word, how to use it, when to use it and where to use it.
Thus, the same goes to the word of "DOG". When i see Dog, i will look after the image of dog, the meaning of it, when we will use dog and for what we are using the dog. I will also consider which group does dog belongs and so on. The spelling of the word and how to pronouns it.
3.Lollapalooza' what doe it actually mean? Such a strange word for my mental lexicon. When Madam wrote this word in the class, i start to think the meaning of the word. But i couldn't find it because its not in my mental lexicon. As this is a new word for me, i don't have any previous knowledge towards this word.
4. When we use a word, the four kind of information that we need to know is:

Not only that, we can identify the root words, suffixes, prefixes and also guide us to pronounce the word in proper order. Furthermore, for those students who are taking Phonetic subjects this book will help them to transcript the word in correct order.

1 ) Define 'morpheme'
What does 'morpheme' mean?
How many morpheme are there in 'morpheme'?
Morpheme can be define as minimal meaningful language unit. It cannot be divided into smaller meaningful units. In another words, it is the smallest unit of language which has a grammatical function ,for example 'van' and 's' in 'vans', and 'eat' and 'ing' in 'eating' are all morphemes that each of them carries meaning.
There are several morpheme in ‘morpheme’, such as free morphemes, bound morphemes, derivational morphemes, inflectional morphemes and allomorphs. Free morphemes, like town and dog, can appear with other lexemes (as in town hall or dog house) or they can stand alone, i.e., "free". Bound morphemes like "un-" appear only together with other morphemes to form a lexeme. Bound morphemes in general tend to be prefixes and suffixes. Unproductive, non-affix morphemes that exist only in bound form are known as "cranberry" morphemes, from the "cran" in that very word. Derivational morphemes can be added to a word to create (derive) another word: the addition of "-ness" to "happy," for example, to give "happiness." They carry semantic information. Inflectional morphemes modify a word's tense, number, aspect, and so on, without deriving a new word or a word in a new grammatical category (as in the "dog" morpheme if written with the plural marker morpheme "-s" becomes "dogs"). They carry grammatical information. Allomorphs are variants of a morpheme, e.g., the plural marker in English is sometimes realized as /-z/, /-s/ or /-ɨz/.
2) What are you looking at when you se a word ?For eg ; 'dog' what are you looking at?
When we see a word, we may think about the definition of that word as well as imagine the image of that word. Moreover, we also may feel want to know the pronunciation of the word. We will also imagine how beautiful of that word is. For example, if we are looking at the word ‘dog’, we will immediately imagine about the types or the breeds of the dogs. The different kinds of image will appear in our mind automatically.
3) Do you know what 'lollapalooza' is?

1. Define 'morpheme'. What does 'morpheme' mean? How many morphemes are there in
'morpheme'?
~ Morpheme refers to the smallest meaningful unit of language. It is divided into free and bound morphemes. Free morphemes are those that are independent and can stand alone as words of a language. An example of free morpheme is the word “dog”. A bound morpheme on the other hand is a morpheme that only appears as a part of a larger word in the form of affixes (prefixes and suffixes). Affixes normally carry only grammatical meaning. For example, when free morpheme “ship” [N (a large vessel that floats on water) and V (the act of having materials sent by ship)] is added the suffix “-ment”, it becomes “shipment” [N (a quantity of goods that are shipped together)]. In the word ‘morpheme’, there is only 1 (one) morpheme. It is an independent free morpheme root word that can stand on its own as a word in a language.
2. What are you looking at when you see word? For e.g.; 'dog' what are you looking at?
~ When I look at a word, I look at the lexical meaning of the word and the context in which the word is being used. When I look at the word “dog”, I see 2 (two) meanings. One is in the noun context referring to the four-legged animal and the other one is in the verb context referring to the act of pursuing a goal intently, like a dog. There are also other contexts such as when it is being used in idioms.
3. Do you know what 'lollapalooza' is?
~ Lollapalooza is an unfamiliar word to me. However, after I Googled the word, I found out that it refer to 2 (two) meanings. One is referring to a music festival held in America, whereas the other one refers to an American slang in the noun context that bring the meanings of an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event.
4. When you use a word, you require 4 kinds of information. What are they?
