Description
of inflectional morphemes
A free morpheme is a morpheme that can
stand by itself. As examples, house, have, good, fast, the, can, for,
etc. are free morphemes. While {en-}, {ex-}, {-Z1}, {-D1}, {-ing1}, etc. are
bound morphemes, because they cannot stand by themselves.
Bound morphemes are of three types: (a)
suffixes, (b) prefixes, and (c) bound bases.
