Words and grammar: lexemes, word
forms and grammatical
words
Lexemes : A lexeme is a unit of lexical meaning, which
exists regardless of any inflectional endings it may
have or the number of words it may contain. Thus,
fibrillate, rain cats and dogs, and come in are all
lexemes, as are elephant, jog, cholesterol, happiness,
put up with, face the music, and hundreds of
thousands of other meaningful items in English. The
headwords in a dictionary are all lexemes.
word forms
The most straightforward way to define the term word
form is to tie it so closely to pronunciation that
pronunciation is its sole criterion: two word forms are
the same if and only if they are pronounced the same,
or are homophonous.
grammatical
words
Grammatical words include articles, pronouns, and
conjunctions. Lexical words include nouns, verbs, and
adjectives.
Regular and irregular inflection
A regular verb is any verb whose conjugation follows
the typical pattern, or one of the typical patterns, of
the language to which it belongs. A verb whose
conjugation follows a different pattern is called an
irregular verb.
Form of Nouns
According to Cambridge dictionary noun is the word
that is the name of something (such as a person, animal,
place, thing, quality, idea, or action) and is typically used
in a sentence as subject or object of a verb or as object of
a preposition. From a morphological point of view, nouns
are less varied than verbs, having just two forms, singular
and plural. Forms of noun contrasting in number usually
added by suffix –s or –es.
Example likes: Plural –s is added to most nouns. The suffix
–s is the regular suffix for forming plurals (Andrew
Carstairs and Carthy, 2002).
Forms of Pronouns and determiners
Pronouns are used for persons or things and change
form according to the people or things they refer to
and their position in a sentence (Subject or Object)
1. Personal Pronoun
2. Possessive Pronouns and Determiners
3. Reflexive Pronouns
4. Relative Pronouns
5. Interrogative Pronouns
6. Demonstrative Pronouns
Forms Of Verbs
1) Irregular Verbs
a. An irregular verb is used to form the simple past and past
participle without take the – ed ending.
b. Irregular verbs, however, have no consistent patterns.
c. The past participles for irregular verbs are challenging, however,
because they are sometimes the same as the base form and/or the
past form and because they are sometimes different from both.
2) Regular Verbs
a. A regular verb is used to form the simple past and past
participle by adding a suffix –d or -ed.
b. Regular verbs have reliable forms.
Forms Of Adjectives
Adjectives have three forms: positive, comparative,
and superlative. The simplest form of the adjective is
its positive form. When two objects or persons are
being compared, the comparative form of the adjective
is used.
