1. Explain Morpheme.

Morpheme is the smallest linguistic unit that that can convey meaning and makes up words. For example, the word pen has meaning all by itself. It cannot be break into smaller meaningful parts. However, it can contain more than one morpheme, as example recover that can be divided into two morphemes the prefix re and cover. As conclusion, morpheme are classified into free morpheme ( occur as separate words) and bound morphemes ( cant stand alone as words).

2. Define Monomorphemic and Polymorphemic. Monomorphemic or also known as simplex, is the word contains just one morpheme or meaningful unit. For example, the word sun is a monomorphemic because it cant be broken into smaller meaningful unit. Polymorphemic or known as complex is the word contains more than one morpheme or meaningful unit. As in the word replacement it is form with the prefix re-, root word place and the suffix -ment and it can be broken into smaller meaningful unit.

3. List six words with Three Morphemes. (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) Un + deny + able = undeniable Dis + locate + ion = dislocation Re + unite + ed = reunited Im + possible + ity = impossibility Un + like + ly = unlikely

(vi)

Multi + function + al = multifunctional

4. Explain free and bound morpheme. Free morpheme constitutes words by themselves and they can stand alone as a word without another morpheme. For example; mat, jam, girl, take, drive. Bound morpheme contains morpheme or word that cannot stand alone as a word but bearing units of languages such as prefix and suffix. By adding the bound morpheme into morpheme will changes the number or syntactic category. For example, by adding the suffix -s to the morpheme pot may change the quantity of the object. There are two types of bound morpheme; derivational morpheme and inflectional morpheme.

5. Form at least six derivational morpheme using the suffix ment and six inflectional morphemes using the past tense suffix-ed.

A. Derivational morphemes (suffix ment) i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) Judge + ment = judgement State + ment = statement Enjoy + ment = enjoyment Supply + ment = supplement Move + ment = movement Engage + ment = engagement

B. Inflectional morphemes (past tense suffix -ed) i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) Spot + ed = spotted Ramp + ed = ramped Tackle + ed = tackled Grab + ed = grabbed Wick + ed = wicked Crunch + ed = crunched

6. Analyse each of the morphemes below by recognizing roots, derivational and inflectional morphemes (r, d, and i) f) Taller g) Infect h) Subdivided i) Immobile j) Consult
