	Morpheme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In morpheme-based morphology, a morpheme is the smallest language unit that carries a semantic interpretation.
		Morphemes are, generally, a distinctive collocation of phonemes (as the free form pin or the bound form -s of pins) having no smaller meaningful members.
		Bound morphemes in general tend to be prefixes and suffixes.

		-- a word composed of more than one morpheme -- one constituent may be considered as the basic one, the core of the form, with the others treated as being added on.
		The basic or core morpheme in such cases is referred to as the stem or root, while the add-ons are affixes.
		In this sense, a stem might not consist of a single morpheme (whereas a root is normally a single morpheme): for example, a compound noun might function as a stem for the addition of the plural suffix.

		Morphemes could be broadly categorized into two: free morpheme and bound morpheme.Free morpheme is a single morpheme that constitutes a word which can stand alone independently.
		Bound morphemes also can be categorized into two: (1) derivational morphemes are used to make new words in a language and often make words of a different grammatical category; (2) inflectional morphemes are not used to produce new words or new classes but indicate aspects of grammatical function.

		Morphemes are the minimal units of words that have a meaning and cannot be subdivided further.
		An example of a free morpheme is "bad", and an example of a bound morpheme is "ly." It is bound because although it has meaning, it cannot stand alone.
		The main difference between the two is that derivational affixes are added to morphemes to form new words that may or may not be the same part of speech and inflectional affixes are added to the end of an existing word for purely grammatical reasons.
