Morphemes

Morphemes

In English grammar and morphology, a morpheme is a meaningful linguistic unit consisting of a word (such as dog) or a word element (such as the -s at the end of dogs) that can't be divided into smaller meaningful parts. Adjective:morphemicMorphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language. (https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-morpheme-1691406)

Morphemes are important because they are a unit of language that carries meaning. Morphemes are either bound (they cannot occur except in combination with other parts of language) or free (they occur on their own right as words). “overdo” is a word that consists of two morphemes, {over} and {do}, both of which are free morphemes.(https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-importance-of-morphemes
