Definition. 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: morphemic. Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language.They are commonly classified as either free morphemes (which can occur as separate words) or bound morphemes (which can't stand alone as words). Many words in English are made up of a single free morpheme.djective: morphemic. Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language. They are commonly classified as either free morphemes (which can occur as separate words) or bound morphemes (which can't stand alone as words). Many words in English are made up of a single free morpheme.
In linguistics,  a morph is a word segment that represents one morpheme in sound or writing. For example, the word infamous is made up of three morphs--in-, fam(e), -eous--each of which represents one morpheme. A morph that can stand alone as a word is called a free morph. For example, the adjective big, the verb walk, and the noun home are free morphs (or roots). A morph that can't stand alone as a word is called a bound morph; the endings -er (as in bigger), -ed (as in walked), and -s (as in homes) are bound morphs (or affixes). While a morpheme is an abstract unit of meaning, a morph is a formal unit with a physical shape.
