I. Decide whether the following statements are true or false. 1. Morphology studies the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed. 2. Words are the smallest meaningful units of language. 3. Just as a phoneme is the basic unit in the study of phonology, so is a morpheme the basic unit in the study of morphology. 4. The smallest meaningful units that can be used freely all by themselves are free morphemes. 5. Bound morphemes include two types: roots and affixes. 6. Inflectional morphemes manifest various grammatical relations or grammatical categories such as number, tense, degree, and case. 7. The existing form to which a derivational affix can be added is called a stem, which can be a bound root, a free morpheme, or a derived form itself. 8. Prefixes usually modify the part of speech of the original word, not the meaning of it. 9. There are rules that govern which affix can be added to what type of stem to form a new word. Therefore, words formed according to the morphological rules are acceptable words. 1 0. Phonetically, the stress of a compound always falls on the first element, while the second element receives secondary stress. 1 1. Phonetically, the stress of a compound always falls on the first element, while the second element receives secondary stress. 1 2. Fore as in foretell is both a prefix and a bound morpheme. 1 3. Base refers to the part of the word that remains when all inflectional affixes are removed. 34. In most cases, prefixes change the meaning of the base whereas suffixes change the word-class of the base. 1 5. Conversion from noun to verb is the most productive process of a word. 1 6. Reduplicative compound is formed by repeating the same morpheme of a word. 1 7. The words whimper, whisper and whistle are formed in the way of onomatopoeia. 1 8. In most cases, the number of syllables of a word corresponds to the number of morphemes. 1 9. Back-formation is a productive way of word-formations. 20 . Inflection is a particular way of word-formations.
