What is a word?

• a word is the smallest chunk of meaningful language, a unit made up only of individually meaningless sounds (if spoken) or letters (if written).

WHAT IS MORPHOLOGY AND LEXICOLOGY?

• Lexicology is the part of linguistics which studies words, their nature]and meaning, words' elements

relations between words (semantical relations), word groups and the whole lexicon

• Morphology (the study of these elementary units and their rules of combination) is traditionally devided into two areas: grammatical inflection and word-formation (the latter area increasingly the concern of the field known as lexicology).

Macam-macam Affixes

• a. Prefix• A bound morpheme may be affixed to the front of the

word is called as a ‘prefix’ (e.g. ‘-s’ in ‘cats’, ‘-ness’ in ‘happiness’).

• b. infix• If a bound morpheme is affixed in the middle of a word it is

called an ‘infix’ although this principle is rare in English, unless such change as ”foot-feet” or “sing-sang” are considered to be types of infix.

• c. Suffix• Suffixes, added after the base (e.g. ‘ness’ in ‘kindness’).

1. Affixation

• a). Affixes• a bound morpheme which is added to form a complex

word is called an “affix”. • b). Inflectional Affixes• Inflectional affixes tend to be morphemes with meanings

such as ‘plural’, ‘possesive’, ‘past tense’, or ‘feminime’, and seem, to occur in small sets but with a great number of stems.

• c). Derivational affixes• Derivational affixes may also be use to define parts of

speech classes to some extent since English words ending in ‘ness’
