Morphology: system of rules related to the way in which we use different forms of words to convey differences in meaning. Morpheme: the smallest language unit that carries meaning. -> free morpheme: a morpheme that can stand on its own. -> bound morpheme: a morpheme that must be connected to another morpheme. Er --> known as pseudo suffix, doesn"t count as a word. ex. Corner --> not 2 words (corn & corner) because er counts are pseudo suffix: phrase structure: Sentences can be divided into parts/ constituents/ groups of words. > ex. separate the noun phrase from the vern phrase.
