1. What’s the different between words and morphemes?

Illustration
- Definition
A morpheme refers to the smallest meaningful element of a word.
A word is a separate meaningful unit, which can be used to form sentences.
A word can consist of a single morpheme or a number of morphemes
- The main difference
is that while a word can stand alone, a morpheme is doubtful( a word
always conveys a meaning).

‘regained’, this word consists of 3 morphemes. They are, ‘re’ , ‘gain’ and
‘ed’. A word can consist of a single morpheme or a number of morphemes.
For example, when we say ‘swimming,‘ it is a single word, but it is not a
single morpheme but two morphemes together (‘swim‘ and ‘ing‘). chairs,
chair and s(plural)
2. What ‘s the difference between free and bound morpheme
Clarification
Some morphemes can exist on their own as a whole word - those are free. A
morpheme is bound when it can’t exist as its own word, only when added to
other morphemes to make a word.Bound morphemes include all types of
affixes: prefixes and suffixes.
Meaningful,undress

An affix is a bound morpheme that attaches to a root or stem to form a new word, or a variant
form of the same word. In English we primarily see 2 types. Prefixes precede the root or stem, e.g., re-
cover, while suffixes follow, e.g., hope-ful. A third type of affix –infix is known as a circumfix occurs in
the two words stand-stood, where the prefix en/m– and the suffix –en/m are attached simultaneously
to the root absofuckinglutely

8. What does it mean by reduplication


Reduplication is a word-formation process in which meaning is expressed by
repeating all or part of a word. As for form, the term “reduplicant” has been widely
used to refer to the repeated portion of a word. There are three key issues regarding
reduplicative form for which theories of reduplication aim to account: segmental
identity effects between base and reduplicant, the shape of reduplicants, and factors
to consider in identifying the base of reduplication.
It is often used when a speaker adopts a tone more "expressive" or figurative than
ordinary speech and is also often, but not exclusively, iconic in meaning.
Reduplication is found in a wide range of languages and language groups, though
its level of linguistic productivity varies.
Exact: The two halves of an exact reduplication are exactly the same. ...
Rhyming: The two halves of the reduplication are not exactly the same but rhyme
with each other. ...
Ablaut: Ablaut refers to those words which change form when a vowel is shifted.
Okey-dokey,pitter-patter
