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.
Bound morphemes cannot stand alone with meaning. Morphemes are comprised of two separate classes called (a) bases (or roots) and (b) affixes. A base, or root is a morpheme in a word that gives the word its principle meaning. An example of a free base morpheme is woman in the word womanly. An example of a bound base morpheme is -sent in the word dissent. Affixes. An affix is a bound morpheme that occurs before or after a base.
