    Hello everyone, welcome--thanks for joining us. Today we'll be discussing the concept of morphology, or the study or forms in linguistics. More specifically, morphology is the study of the internal structure of words in a language. So this is part 1 of a multiple part series in morphology and in this video we will be discussing the concept of a morpheme, as well as distinguishing between different types of morphemes--difference between free morphemes and bound morphemes, lexical morphemes and functional morphemes, as well as the difference between derivational and inflectional morphemes. So before we do any of that, let's talk about the fundamental concept in morphology: the morpheme. So, a morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit in a language. A morpheme cannot be broken down into any smaller meaningful bits--just individual sounds or sound sequences, which, in and of themselves, are meaningless. Now you might think that the word is the smallest meaningful unit in a language, but any given word may be composed of more than one meaningful element. For example, consider the word "cats". Now "cats" is clearly one word in English, but it has 2 morphemes: "cat" plus "-s". So we all know what a "cat" means; it's furry, it has paws, whiskers, it meows, it vomits on the carpet, but there is this "-s" suffix, which is also meaningful because it denotes "plural" or "more than one". Therefore, "cats" has 2 morphemes. Let's take another word--how about "category". Now "category" has just one morpheme. Don't be fooled by the size of the word. "Category" cannot be broken down into any smaller meaningful bits. Now you might say, "wait a minute, doesn't the word 'category' have the word 'cat' in it?" And it does--that's a good observation. However, the meaning of the word "cat" has nothing to do with the meaning of the word "category" in English; therefore, we conclude that "category" has just 1 morpheme. Similarly, you might notice that "category" has the word "gory" in it, but, again, the meaning of the word "gory" has nothing to do with the meaning of "category", so, again, we must say that "category" has just 1 morpheme. Here's a tip: anytime you're looking at a word in a language and you're trying to determine how many morphemes are present in that word, ask yourself, "does the sum of the parts equal the meaning of the whole?" If the answer is yes, then there is likely more than 1 morpheme. If the answer is no, there's probably just 1 morpheme. Let's take another word. How about "categorize". Now this word has 2 morphemes

    In this video, there is an explanation of derivational and inflectional. Incidentally, I am in need of this topic. Actually, I have several book references that contain derivational and inflectional in it, but I still have difficulty in finding the characteristics and the difference between derivational and inflectional in detail.
    Maybe, could you suggest some book reference or pdf to me which explains both in detail, sir? Because I'm in the process of working on a presentation assignment.
    I'm really sorry if my request is not pleasing to you, sir.
