The primary difference between a word and a morpheme is that a word is freestanding, where a morpheme may or may not be. For example, the morpheme "star" can stand by itself, but the morpheme "-s" cannot.
"Morph" is just a shortened form of "morpheme"
A morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit of language, such as a prefix or a root word, while a syllable is a unit of pronunciation containing a vowel sound. A morpheme can stand alone as a word or be a part of a word, while a syllable is a unit of sound within a word.
Morpheme is a noun. The word "write" is an example of a morpheme. A single morpheme word is sometimes called a root or base word.
The free morpheme in the word disgraceful is the word grace. A morpheme is the smallest form of a word in grammar.
Morphemes are not similar to sentences, except that they share the notion that each can stand alone. From Wikipedia: "A morpheme is not identical to a word, and the principal difference between the two is that a morpheme may or may not stand alone, whereas a word, by definition, is a freestanding unit of meaning. Every word comprises one or more morphemes."
Phoneme is a basic sound unit that distinguishes meaning within a language, while allomorph is a variation of a morpheme that occurs in different contexts. Phonemes affect meaning at the word level, while allomorphs affect meaning at the morpheme level.
There are three morphemes in the word "newcomers": "new" (root morpheme), "come" (root morpheme), and "-er" (derivational morpheme).
A morpheme is a word or a word element that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts. In the word "singing," sing is a morpheme and ing is a morpheme. In the word "friendliest," friend is a morpheme, ly is a morpheme, and est is a morepheme.
A free base morpheme is a standalone morpheme that can function as a word on its own. It is not dependent on any other morpheme to convey meaning. For example, the word "dog" consists of a single free base morpheme, as it can be used independently to refer to the animal.
Free morphemes can stand alone as words, while bound morphemes need to be attached to another morpheme to form a word. Free morphemes have meaning on their own, while bound morphemes only have meaning when attached to other morphemes.
A bound morpheme is a morpheme that cannot stand alone as a word, but must be attached to a free morpheme to form a complete word. Examples include prefixes and suffixes, such as "-er" in "teacher" or "un-" in "unhappy."
The morpheme in "immortality" is "im," which is a prefix meaning "not" or "without."
