Though borrowing has been playing an active role in the expansion of vocabulary as indicated, in modern times, however, vocabulary is largely enriched on a/an basis.2. Before we actually deal with the means of word-formation, we need to analyze the structures of words and gain a working knowledge of the different word-forming elements which are to be used to create new words.3. It seems to be generally agreed that a is the smallest unit of a language that stands alone to communicate meaning.4. The word " denaturalization" can be broken down into morphemes.5. Suffixes usually change the word-class while do not usually change the world-class.6.

The smallest functioning unit in the composition of words is 15."-s", "-ed", "-er" and "-est" are all morphemes because they do not generate new words.16. "er-", "im-", "ab-", and "-ly" are all morphemes because they generate new words.17. usually do not change word-class of the stems but only modify their meanings.18. Structurally speaking, a word is not the smallest unit because many words are and separable.19. The root, whether free or bound, generally carries the component of meaning in a word.20. roots in English are either Latin or Greek.21 .A root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further an-alysed total loss of identity.22.

A root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further anal ysed without total loss of identity .The root, whether free or bound, generally carries the main component of meaning in a word.2. A stem may consist of a single root morpheme or two root morphemes or a root plus an affix. A stem is a form to which affixes of any kind can be added.3.Derivational affixes are affixes added to other morphemes to create new words. Derivational affixes can be further divided into prefixes and suffixes.4. Affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional, and those added to stems to create new words are derivational.5. A bound root is that part of the word that carries the fundamental meaning but cannot stand alone as a word.6. Affixes are forms that are attached to stems to make new words or show grammatical meaning.7.Bound morphemes are the morphemes that cannot occur as separate words. They are bound to other morphemes to form words.8.Morphemes which are independent of other morphemes are free. These morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences. They are identical with root words.9. A single morpheme may be phonetically realized by two or more morphs. These alternative phonetic forms or variants are allomorphs.10.A morpheme must be realized as certain phonetic forms or variants in different phonetic environments. Each of the phonetic forms or variants is a morph.11. A morpheme is the minimal/smallest meaningful unit of a languageVI. Answer the following questions. Your answers should be and short. Write your answers in the space given below.1. Morphemes which are independent of other morphemes are consid6red to be free. These morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences .They are identical Mth root words, as each of them consists of a single free root. Therefore, we might as well say that free morphemes are free roots.2.Morphemes which cannot occur as separate words are bound. Bound morphemes include bound root and affix. Bound root is only one type of bound morpheme.3. A root and a stem are not the same. A root is the basic form of word which cannot be further analysed. A stem may consist of a single root or two
