Task 1

  "Is simply term for that branch of linguistics which concerned with the "forms of words" in different uses and constructions."

Morphology By Peter H. Matthews

• What is Morphology? 
  "In  linguistics morphology refers to the mental system involved in word formation or to the branch of linguistics taht deals with words, their internal structure, and how they are formed."
  What is Morphology By Mark Aronoff, Kirsten Fudeman
  
  
  • Morohology, in linguistics, study of the internal construction of words. Languages vary widely in the degree to which words can be analyzed into word elements, or  morphemes. In English there are numerous examples, such as "replacement," which is composed of re-, "place," ans-ment, and "walked," from the elements "walk" and -ed.
  Morphology includes the grammatical processes of inflection and derivation. Infelction marks categories such as person, tense and case.

Morphology: Is the study in linguistics, of words in terms of their form, internal structures nad how together can form other words with different meanings.

Task 2


appear only together with other morphemes to form a lexeme. Bound morphemes in general tend to be prefixes and suffixes.

Word	Definition	Example
Morpheme	A linguistics unit of a word or a word element. / is the smallest component of word, or other linguistic unit that has semantic meaning.	Dog / -s in Dogs
Free Morpheme	Is a morpheme that can appear with other lexems os can stan alone.	town: towm hall / dog: dog house
Bound Morpheme	Is a morpheme that appear only with other morphemes to fomr a lexeme. Tend to be prefixes and sufixes.
Preffix	Is placed at the begining of a word to modifiy or change its meaning.	a /an: not, without: anaemic
Suffix	Is a group of letter placed at the end of the word, to make a new word. Inflectional: grammar change singular to plural. Change present simple to past simple.Derivational: the word havs a new meaning.	Talk-talked dog-dogs Teach-teacher
Infix	Is a affix that is inserted within a root.to create a new word or intensify the meaning	absobloodylutely
Affix	A word element that can be attached to abes or a root to form a new word.	Ex-presindet: Ex/president
Derivational morpheme	In morphology, an affix that´s added to a word to create a new word or a new form of a word. Have clear semantic content, the derived word may also be of a different grammatical class than the original word.able-ly.	Desire Desirable

 Process                                          Example                                         Definition

Compounding: forms a word out of two or more root.	Mail carrer	Somebody employed to deliver post
Blending it is specilly creative in that speakers take two words and merge them based not on morpheme structure but on sound structure.	Biopic	Biography - picture
Clipping one part is clipped off the rest, and the remaining word now means essentially the same thing as what the whole word means or meant.	Hippo	Hippopotamus
Acronyms are formed by taking the initial letters of a phrase and making a word out of it.	UNICEF	The united Nations Children´s Fund.
