Affixes may be prefixes, suffixes, circumfixes, and infixes. 2
Derivational affixes derive new words; inflectional affixes make grammatical changes to words. 3
All morphemes are of equal status in a word. 4 The term
is used to refer to the phonological realization or manifestation of a morpheme. 5
A prefix is an affix that attaches to the right of the base. 6
If different morphs represent the same morpheme, they are grouped together and they are called allomorphs of that morpheme. 7
Bound morphemes may be affixes or bound roots such as - . 8
If the distribution of allomorphs is determined by phonological factors then we say that the allomorphs
are phonologically conditioned. 9
The meaning of a compound is not always the sum of the meanings of its parts. 10
A morpheme is not the smallest meaningful unit in a language.
