Meaning of MORPHEME in English

noun

EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS

Determining the constituent morphemes is further complicated because there may be more than one possible segmentation for a word.

For example, un-friend-li-ness contains four morphemes, and war only one.

For others, syllable and character represent at most not a word but rather a morpheme , the smallest unit of meaning.

However, similar effects are also observable across morpheme boundaries and to some extent also within the morpheme.

Spelling changes may occur at the morpheme boundaries resulting in slight changes to the surface string produced by the morpheme combinations.

These two kinds of deictic usage contrast with the non-deictic usage of the same words or morphemes.
