words
Noun, verb,

preposition
Conjunction,
pronouns,
auxiliaries
Inflections
the inflected words are the
variants of a lexeme
Lexeme: go
go, goes, went, gone, going
Morpheme:
The smallest meaningful units of language, which
cannot be subdivided without losing their
meaning.
Allomorphs are the positional alternants of a
morpheme, they have the same meaning and are in
complementary distribution.
Morphs are the physical realizations of morphemes
Morpheme:
Free morpheme Bound morpheme:
It can occur by itself
as a whole word.
It must be attached to
other morpheme
{house}, {albatross},
{kangaroo}, {lullaby},
{table},
{-s}, {-ly}, {-er}, {-ment},
{-ness}, {il_}, {im_},
A stem: the part of a word which remains if we
remove the suffix or prefix that has entered
the word last.
An Example of stem analysis:
If we remove all affixes, we arrive at the absolute
stem, called root (also known as base), which is
always a single morpheme. Thus, the root of
unfriendliness is {friend}, underlined in (2).
