By comparing average income for people in the 65 to 74 year age group to the average income they made 10 years earlier in the 55 to 64 year age group, I found that retirees have an approximately 23 percent drop in real income.
Definition of Morpheme. A morpheme is the smallest syntactical and meaningful linguistic unit that contains a word, or an element of the word such as the use of âs whereas this unit is not divisible further into smaller syntactical parts.
In other words, it is the smallest meaningful unit of a language. The field of study dedicated to morphemes is called morphology. A morpheme is not identical to a word, and the principal difference between the two is that a morpheme may or may not stand alone, whereas a word, by definition, is freestanding.
