Document Summary
Morphology = words/parts of words, and how they are formed. Morphemes = words + fragments (with similar status) Syntax does not necessarily mean anything; you could have meaningless sentences that are grammatically correct. It deals with the rules of how you chain together the words. Two types of units recognized by morphology(both are morphemes): These are what we normally recognize as forms of speech. These are what we understand as the various parts of speech such as nouns, pronouns, etc. They are linguistic utterances that have no meaning in and of themselves, unless they are attached to a free morpheme. Bound = bound or tied to a word, in order to have meaning. There are few bound morphemes, but we use them frequently. When you add to a free morpheme, lightly, it changes the meaning of the word. There are many more free morphemes than bound morphemes. Bound morphemes are bound in number but they are frequently used and reused.
