📖 1. Morphology and word structure

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

Morpheme: The smallest meaningful unit of language; it carries semantic or grammatical significance. (Source: Dr. Wegdan Rabea Sayed)

Allomorph: Phonologically different variants of the same morpheme that occur in complementary distribution, meaning their use depends on phonological environment. (Source: Dr. Wegdan Rabea Sayed)

Free Morpheme: A morpheme that can stand alone as a word and still carry meaning, such as "help" or "dog". (Source: Dr. Wegdan Rabea Sayed)

Bound Morpheme: A morpheme that cannot stand alone and must attach to another morpheme to convey meaning, such as prefixes or suffixes. (Source: Dr. Wegdan Rabea Sayed)

Cranberry Morpheme: A bound morpheme that appears in only one or very few words and lacks independent meaning, e.g., "cran-" in "cranberry". (Source: Dr. Wegdan Rabea Sayed)
