	The Linguistics Zone
		In the previous post we discussed morphemes, which are the meaningful parts of a word.
		An interesting fact about these word elements is that the number of morphemes contained in a word is completely independent of the number of syllables in the word.
		The prefixes and suffixes are usually bound morphemes as they must be attached to the root word.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Morpheme
		In spoken language, morphemes are composed of phonemes, the smallest linguistically distinctive units of sound.
		Bound morphemes in general tend to be prefixes and suffixes.
		Unproductive, non-affix morphemes that exist only in bound form are known as "cranberry" morphemes, from the "cran" in that very word.

	Morphemes and Allomorphy
		Morphemes can be roots or affixes, depending on whether they are the main part or dependent part of a word (cf.
		In this example, the first two morphemes were borrowed into English from different languages, a sufficient reason for thinking of them as different elements and hence distinct morphemes.
		This kind of situation, in which our definition of morpheme as an element pairing a particular form with a particular meaning might lead us to call these one morpheme, but our historical knowledge leads us to call them two, is comparatively rare.

	Subjects to be thought at English Department
		These are morphemes (and not affixes) that must be attached to another morpheme and do not have a meaning of their own.
		Prefixes are added to the beginning of another morpheme, suffixes are added to the end, infixes are inserted into other morphemes, and circumfixes are attached to another morpheme at the beginning and end.
		Prefixes can be classified according to the parts of speech, according to their meaning and according to their origin.

	Thunderstone: Morpheme Stripping Routine
		When it is time to execute a search, the suffix and prefix lists are each sorted by descending size and ascending alphabetical order.
		The reason for and importance of descending order is so that suffixes and prefixes can be stripped largest to smallest.
		Note: This is why ordering by size is so important: because you want to remove suffixes (or prefixes) by the largest first, so as not to miss multiple suffixes, where one suffix may be a subset of another.

	morphemes
		Often, morphemes are thought of as words but that is not always true.
		Morphemes are also thought of as syllables but this is incorrect.
		English has only seven inflectional morphemes: -s (plural) and -s (possessive) are noun inflections; -s (3rd-person singular), -ed (past tense), -en (past participle), and -ing (present participle) are verb inflections; -er (comparative) and -est (superlative) are adjective and adverb inflections.

	Thunderstone: Morpheme Processing
		An inherent part of the search process is to take search words, strip them of suffixes and prefixes down to a recognizable morpheme, search for the morpheme, find a possible match, then go through the process again with the possible match to see if it is indeed what you were looking for.
		The elements which affect morpheme processing are very subtle as they affect all language and therefore all of any text you are searching.
		If you understand these rules, you will have better judgment on how to edit the prefix and suffix lists, what happens when you turn off prefix and/or suffix processing altogether, what happens if you turn off the morpheme rebuild step, and where the minimum word length setting comes in.

	two-morpheme words
		Two-morpheme words are constructed variously by repeating the same or similar morpheme, by attaching a bound morpheme as a suffix or prefix to a free morpheme, or by joining two free morphemes.
		In borrowing Chinese morphemes and words, Koreans and Japanese sometimes include the suffixes, as in maozi, shizi ('hat', 'lion'), which are in Korean moja, saja and in Japanese booshi, shishi.
		Instead of joining two or more morphemes into a word, one or more morphemes can be eliminated from a multi-morpheme idiom to create a word, as in jingji ('control + save' = 'economy') from the Chinese classical idiom jingshi jimin ('control the world to save the people').

	Prefix, stem, suffix
		So, a word which is attached one or more prefixes or suffixes is a root, while a base word does contain already at least one, but it can be added more (pref or suf).
		Take for example irritable ' ir ' is a prefix when used in irresponsible, but in the case of irritable, it is used as an affix.
		Prefix and Suffix are able to be 'heard' and 'see' whether it is accurate.

		A morpheme property is inherited by all allomorphs of the morpheme.
		Morpheme properties typically indicate a characteristic of the morpheme which conditions the occurrence of allomorphs of an adjacent morpheme.
		Morpheme properties are used in tests defined in the analysis data file and in morpheme environment constraints.

		Morphemes will then be the words or parts of words that mark the categories of grammar which are the crucial stuff of language.
		Morphemes do not undergo derivation even if they are not affixes which mark derivations themselves.
		The fact that the number of morphemes and the categories they refer to is fixed suggests that they determine the grammar of a language.

		The morphemes like -ed, -s, that do not occur on their own are known as bound morphemes.
		In contrast, nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. are known as free morphemes since they can appear on their own without modification.
		Inflections are bound morphemes that modify the form of a word.

		A prefix is a morpheme "fixed" at the beginning of another morephem (often one which has independent wordage) to change the meaning.
		Thus, the prefix of pre- in "preheat" meaning to heat, say, the oven, before putting in the heatinng dish to bake for food.
		A suffix is a morphem "fixed: at the end of another morpheme (often one which has indpendent wordage) to change the meaning and even the grammatical status.

		PREFIXES attach to the front of a base; SUFFIXES to the end of a base; INFIXES are inserted inside of a root.
		An example of a prefix is the 're-' of 'rewrite'; of a suffix, '-al' of 'critical'.
		The phenomenon of variation in the pronunciation of a morpheme is called allomorphic variation or morphophonemic variation (since it is the phonemic makeup of a morpheme that is varying).

		Suppose that a single source language morpheme corresponds to either of two target language morphemes, where the choice between them is not determined by any contextual factor within the word.
		In the absence of an explicit environment statement, prefixes are inserted somewhere before the leftmost root and suffixes are inserted somewhere after the rightmost root.
		TRANSFER determines whether the morpheme to be inserted is a prefix or a suffix by determining which dictionary it occurs in.

	Morphology
		Affixes (prefix, suffix, infix and circumfix) are all bound morphemes.
		Derivational morphemes derive a new word by being attached to root morphemes or stems.
		To detemine what the morphemes are in such a list, what you have to do is to see if there are any forms that mean the same thing in different words, that is, to look for recurring forms.

	LESSON 5-3
		While solving a morphological problem, our aim is to come up with a list of the morphemes (not words; remember a word may contain more than one morpheme!).

		When a morpheme has alternate pronunciations (alternate phonetic forms), these are said to be allomorphs, variations of the same morpheme.

	Final Language Lesson Proposal Paper Introduction to Linguistics
		One such construction is the addition of the prefix y- or i- to a verb in the past participle.
		Specifically, y- and i- are inflectional morphemes because they serve a purely grammatical function; unlike derivational morphemes, which change the meaning of of the word they attach to, inflectional morphemes only change the form of the word, not the overall meaning.
		What’s tricky is that inflectional morphemes exist only as suffixes in MO. At least at first, the use of a prefix to make a strictly grammatical change to a word, without changing the essential meaning of the word, might have the modern reader scratching her head.

	SEM1A5 - Part 2 - Morphological analysis
		Bound morphemes have to be attached to a free morpheme, and so cannot be words in their own right.
		As with derivational morphology, semi-affixes and combining forms can be analysed into their morphemes and, as with derivational morphology, it can be used to analyse previously unseen words.
		And when it comes to the analysis of the agglutinative languages, the morpheme concept is invaluable, as these languages are, as it were, tailor-made for it.

	Improved translation system utilizing a morphological stripping process to reduce words to their root configuration to ...
		What this does is to strip endings and/or prefixes off of words to get them back down to their roots so that the dictionary does not list for the most part all of the forms of a word, but rather it only lists their roots.
		As applied to linguistics, we are here referring to both prefix and suffix, as well as grammatically inflected forms of all words in a human (natural) language.
		The present technique deals with re-attaching the morphemes at a later stage, the regenerative (recombinant) phase, at the destination language of a translation.

		In English, the root morpheme is generally a free morpheme.
		Affixes - bound morphemes that do not belong to a lexical category: prefix (attached to the front of a base), suffix (attached to the end of a base), infix (an affix that occurs within a base – non-existent in English – not on exams).
		A dash attached to the end of the morpheme indicates prefix (pre-, re-).

	Appendix 2
		A Bound morpheme is a morpheme that must attach to a word stem.
		A Free morpheme on the other hand may stand alone as a free word (e.g., the word visit in re-visit is a free morpheme (and hence a word).
		A prefix attaches at the beginning of the word, an infix to the middle, and a suffix attaches at the end.

	LINGUIST List 15.1941: Re: Comments on things no language does
		She rejects the constraint in terms of morpheme order specifically on a basis of Navajo.
		A locative prefix adds a central or peripheral locative argument, e.g., gase 'to cut' becomes i...gase 'to cut with' or gdhiN 'to sit' becomes a...gdhiN 'to sit on'.
		The difficulty is that in other cases it leaps over pronominals or even parts of pronominals and fuses with a vowel outside them or even with several vowels in a row.
