English Morphology
Abstract
There is a popular understanding among English learners that
meaning lies in words. This is only partially true. In English monomorphemic
words meaning lies in the single morphemes which are also
the words. However, there are a lot of bimorphemic or polymorphemic
words in English. The meaning of these words is determined by the units
of meaning that combine into words. These units of meaning are called
morphemes. Meaning lies in morphemes. In English the meaning of
words lies in free morphemes, bound stems, prefixes, suffixes, and
superfixes
