For example, in English the plural mortheme is but it is pronounced differently in different environments as/s/in cats, asz/ in dogs and as/iz/ in classes. So/s/, /z/, and /iz/ are all allomorphs of the plural morpheme Stem: any morpheme or combination of morphemes to which an inflectional affix can be added 43 bound morpheme: an element of meaning which is structurally dependent on the world it is added to, e.g. the plural morpheme in"dogs free morpheme: an element of meaning which takes the form of an independent word lexeme A separate unit of meaning, usually in the form of a word(e. g. dog in the lexicon: a list of all the words in a language assigned to various lexical categories and provided with semantic interpretation word: word expressing grammatical meanings, such conjunction, prepositions, articles and pronouns lexical word: word having lexical meanings, that is those which refer to substance, action and quality, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and verb open-class: a word whose membership is in principle infinite or unlimited, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and many adverbs blending: a relatively complex form of compounding in which two words are blended by joining the initial part of the first word and the final part of the second word, or by joining the initial parts of the two words loanvoord: a process in which both form and meaning are borrowed with only a slight adaptation, in some cases, to eh phonological system of the new language that they enter loanblend: a process in which part of the form is native and part is borrowed, but the leaning is fully borrowed 53. leanshift: a process in which the meaning is borrowed, but the form is native acronym: is made up form the first letters of the name of an organization which has a heavily modified headword loss: the disappearance of the very sound as a morpheme in the phonological system back-formation: an abnormal type of word-formation where a shorter word is derived by deleting an imagined affix from a long form already in the language assimilation: the change of a sound as a result of the influence of an adjacent sound, which is more specifically called. contactor contiguousassimilation dissimilation: the influence exercised By one sound segment upon the articulation ofclassroom,blackboard,snowwhite,etc. 37. inflection: the manifestation of grammatical relationship through the addition of inflectional affixes,such as number,person,finiteness,aspect and case,which do not change the grammatical class of the stems to which they are attached. 38. affix: the collective term for the type of formative that can be used only when added to another morpheme(the root or stem). 39. derivation: different from compounds,derivation shows the relation between roots and affixes. 40. root: the base from of a word that cannot further be analyzed without total lass of identity. 41. allomorph:; any of the different form of a morpheme.For example,in English the plural mortheme is but it is pronounced differently in different environments as/s/in cats,as/z/ in dogs and as/iz/ in classes.So/s/,/z/,and /iz/ are all allomorphs of the plural morpheme. 42. Stem: any morpheme or combination of morphemes to which an inflectional affix can be added. 43. bound morpheme: an element of meaning which is structurally dependent on the world it is added to,e.g. the plural morpheme in “dog’s”. 44. free morpheme: an element of meaning which takes the form of an independent word. 45. lexeme:A separate unit of meaning,usually in the form of a word(e.g.”dog in the manger”) 46. lexicon: a list of all the words in a language assigned to various lexical categories and provided with semantic interpretation. 47. grammatical word: word expressing grammatical meanings,such conjunction,prepositions,articles and pronouns. 48. lexical word: word having lexical meanings,that is ,those which refer to substance,action and quality,such as nouns,verbs,adjectives,and verbs. 49. open-class: a word whose membership is in principle infinite or unlimited,such as nouns,verbs,adjectives,and many adverbs. 50. blending: a relatively complex form of compounding,in which two words are blended by joining the initial part of the first word and the final part of the second word,or by joining the initial parts of the two words. 51. loanvoord: a process in which both form and meaning are borrowed with only a slight adaptation,in some cases,to eh phonological system of the new language that they enter. 52. loanblend: a process in which part of the form is native and part is borrowed, but the meaning is fully borrowed. 53. leanshift: a process in which the meaning is borrowed,but the form is native. 54. acronym: is made up form the first letters of the name of an organization,which has a heavily modified headword. 55. loss: the disappearance of the very sound as a morpheme in the phonological system. 56. back-formation: an abnormal type of word-formation where a shorter word is derived by deleting an imagined affix from a long form already in the language. 57. assimilation: the change of a sound as a result of the influence of an adjacent sound,which is more specifically called.”contact”or”contiguous”assimilation. 58. dissimilation: the influence exercised.By one sound segment upon the articulation of
