Definition of morpheme in English:

morpheme

noun ˈmɔːfiːmˈmɔrˌfim
Linguistics
  • 1A meaningful morphological unit of a language that cannot be further divided (e.g. in, come, -ing, forming incoming).

    Example sentencesExamples
    • These include the order in which second language morphemes are acquired, learners' errors, and the stages of inter-language development.
    • For the most part, native Japanese words and morphemes were associated with single Chinese characters, but not always.
    • Indeed, morphemes are meaningful, increasing in their salience, may be produced in isolation, and represent a more ‘natural’ cut on the language.
    • Cognitive Grammar takes the very strong position that all words and morphemes in a language are symbolic.
    • In this approach, the specimen sentence has 13 monemes divided into 8 morphemes and 5 lexemes.
    1. 1.1 A morphological element considered in respect of its functional relations in a linguistic system.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Specifically, it is suggested that the meaning of the tense morphemes alone do not completely determine the temporal interpretation of a sentence.
      • The model of morpheme classification assumes that there are three types of system morphemes (functional elements) as well as content morphemes.
      • Some attrition in morphology, plural and past irregular morphemes, in particular, is also observed.
      • With respect to the plural morpheme, it is not only the case that it occurs very often in English text, but it also attaches to very many different noun stems.

Derivatives

  • morphemic

  • adjective mɔːˈfiːmɪkmɔrˈfimɪk
    Linguistics

      Example sentencesExamples
      • Good examples of the former are the special issues in journals on experimental studies of inflectional, morphemic compounding, and derivational morphology in relation to learning to read and spell.
      • Comparisons with the reading-age control group indicated that, while the dyslexic children were poorer in the morphemic segmentation tasks, they performed normally for their reading level in the sentence completion tasks.
      • The smallest possible unities - phonemic - are integrated into ever higher levels of unity - morphemic, syntactic, syntagmatic, narratological - that are simultaneously equivalent to ‘higher’ levels of thought.
      • Both the morphological analysis and the suffix deletion tasks assessed morphemic manipulation in the absence of contextual cues that may facilitate lexical retrieval.
  • morphemically

  • adverbmɔːˈfiːmɪk(ə)li
    Linguistics
    • Compounds and derivatives tend to be spelled morphemically, the established grapheme bases are usually retained regardless of the phonemic alterations involved.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • For example, the model has already been used to examine how the meanings of morphemically complex words are accessed during reading.
      • The translation sentence is to have the syntax of the original, and to differ only morphemically.
      • The best spellers are those, evidently, who, like good readers, realize that English spelling is more morphemically based than phonetically based, and are able to use this information to derive for example the spelling of competition out of compete.

Origin

Late 19th century: from French morphème, from Greek morphē 'form', on the pattern of French phonème 'phoneme'.
