morfema Explanation: mor·pheme (môr'fēm') pronunciation n. A meaningful linguistic unit consisting of a word, such as man, or a word element, such as -ed in walked, that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts. [French morphème, blend of Greek morphē, form and French phonème, phoneme; see phoneme.] mor·phem'ic adj. mor·phem'i·cal·ly adv. logo The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Copyright © 2004, 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.

All rights reserved. Directory > Language > WordNet > morpheme . morpheme In Linguistics, a morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit in a given language. This is the definition established in 1933 by the American linguist Leonard Bloomfield. English Example: The word "unbelievable" has three morphemes "un-", (negatory) a bound morpheme, "-believe-" a free morpheme, and "-able". "un-" is also a prefix, "-able" is a suffix. Both are affixes. Types of morphemes: * Free morphemes like town, dog can appear with other lexemes (as in town-hall or dog-house) or they can stand alone, or "free". Allomorphs are variants of a morpheme, e.g. the plural marker in English is sometimes realized as /-z/, /-s/ or /-Iz/. * Bound morphemes like "un-" appear only together with other morphemes to form a lexeme. Bound morphemes in general tend to be prefixes and suffixes. * Inflectional morphemes modify a word's tense, number, aspect, and so on. * Derivational morphemes can be added to a word to create (derive) another word: the addition of "-ness" to "happy", for example, to give "happiness". See also: Morphology, Morphophonology, Morphological analysis, Lemmata Reference * Andrew Spencer, Morphological Theory, Blackwell, Oxford 1992 Español (Spanish) n. - morfema. root (linguistics) The root is the primary lexical unit of a word, which carries the most significant aspects of semantic content and cannot be reduced into smaller constituents. Content words in nearly all languages represent root morphemes. Roots can be either free morphemes or bound morphemes. Root morphemes are essential for affixation and compounds. The root of a word is a unit of meaning (morpheme) and, as such, it is an abstraction, though it can usually be represented in writing as a word would be. For example, it can be said that the root of the English verb form running is run, or the root of the Spanish superlative adjective amplísimo is ampli-, since those words are clearly derived from the root forms by simple suffixes that do not alter the roots in any way. In particular, English has very little inflection, and hence a tendency to have words that are identical to their roots. But more complicated inflection, as well as other processes, can obscure the root; for example, the root of mice is mouse (still a valid word), and the root of interrupt is, arguably, rupt, which is not a word in English and only appears in derivational forms (such as disrupt, corrupt, etc.). The root rupt is written as if it were a word, but it's not. This distinction between the word as a unit of speech and the root as a unit of meaning is even more important in the case of languages where roots have many different forms when used in actual words, as is the case in Semitic languages. In these, roots are formed by consonants alone, and different words (belonging to different parts of speech) are derived from the same root by inserting vowels. For example, in Hebrew, the root gdl represents the idea of largeness, and from it we have gadol and gdola (masculine and feminine forms of the adjective "big"), gadal "he grew", higdil "he magnified" and magdelet "magnifier", along with many other words. Reconstructed roots The root of a word, in etymology, has a somewhat different meaning: it may represent an older form. When several languages are believed to be children of one older language, linguists will compare each language to the rest, trying to find matching words and ultimately reconstruct the ancient root. This has been done with several major language families, such as the Indo-European and the Semitic family.

palabra primitiva. Explanation: Es lo que se opone a derivadas. La raíz NO ES una palabra. "Carta" es una palabra primitiva, porque no se origina a partir de ninguna otra. Está compuesta por una raíz o lexema, "cart" y un morfema "a". Cartero es una palabra derivada de carta. http://www.estudiantes.info/lengua/palabras_primitivas_y_der... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2005-04-30 18:56:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- No es porque lo diga don Google, recuerdo haberlo aprendido en EGB (primaria). |
