There are two primary types of morphemes: free morphemes and bound morphemes. Free Morphemes. A free morpheme can carry semantic meaning on its own and does not require a prefix or suffix to give it meaning.
Morphemes can be classified as free morphemes, which stand alone as words, or bound morphemes, which must attach to other morphemes to convey meaning. Understanding morphemes is essential for analyzing how words are formed, accessed in memory, and recognized during communication.
Morphemes that can stand alone to function as words are called free morphemes. They comprise simple words (i.e. words made up of one free morpheme) and compound words (i.e. words made up of two free morphemes). Examples: Simple words: the, run, on, well. Compound words: keyboard, greenhouse, bloodshed, smartphone.
