Description

1. What is the difference between word and morphemes.Give examples for illustration.

 “word” is a common term used to describe units of speech. It’s not a technical term.  “morpheme”( hình vị) (đơn vị nhỏ nhất) is a minimal unit of meaning (mang ngữ nghĩa) or grammatical function ( chức năng ngữ pháp )  In linguistic terms, a “word” can be one morpheme by itself, (food, company, plate) or a “word” may consist of more than one morpheme • The main difference is that while a word can stand alone, a morpheme may or may not be able to stand alone. Eg: unhappy = the prefix un- which give the negative meaning, and happy; dogs= the word dog plus the suffix -s which makes it plural. 2. what is the difference between free and bound morphemes - There are two types of morphemes-free morphemes and bound morphemes.

 "Free morphemes" can stand alone as single words ( with a specific meaning ) For example: eat, date, weak, run, fast... The, an, a, i, you, this, that, on, in, ......



"Bound morphemes" cannot attached to another form ( stand alone with meaning) .

EG: asleep, sleepy, teaching, runs.....

3. How can simple words and complex ones be differentiated? Clarify - SIMPLE WORDS: words cannot be broken down into smaller meaningful unit Eg: Gentle, quick, fire, joke.... - COMPLEX WORDS: words can be divided into morphemes Eg: Gentle (adj) derived from gentleman (n), gentlemanly (adj), gentlemanliness (n) INCOMPREHENSIBILITY - MF: comprehend (v) lĩnh hội MB : -ible, -in, -ibility Tính bấất khả thi 4. Tell me the difference of closed categories and open ones. Exemplify - CLOSED CATEGORIES: Words that are rarely developed ( pronoun (đạ i từ ), prepositon (gi ới từ), determiner ( từ han đị nh ), conjuncton ( Liên từ ), interjecton ( thái từ)) EG: PRONOUNCES: anything, what, he, mine, yourself.... PREPOSITION: about, in, on, at.... DETERMINER: the, a, an, every, each, a few... CỌ NJUNCTION: for, and, afer, although, not only...but also..., .... INTERJECTION: well, ah, hey...... - OPEN CATEGORIES: words that can be developed ( noun, adjectve, verb, adverb ) for communicatve purposes. EG: happy- unhappy- happiness.... 5: With what dictionaries should a student of business English be equipped?

 Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary.  Oxford Collection Dictionary.  Oxford Learner’s Thesaurus.  Oxford Business English. Câu 6: How can English affixes be classified? Illustrate, pls: 

There are three main types of affixes ( a bound morpheme that is added to a word ) : prefixes, infixes, and suffixes.

 Prefixes is a bound morpheme that iss added to the beginning of a word EG: un- (unhappy).  Suffixes is a bound morpheme that is added to the end of a word and that normally changes the meaning function of a word (wonder- ful, dependent, act-ion). Suffixes can either be derivational or inflectional. English there are 8 inflectional suffixes (-s, -s, -‘s, -ed, -en, -ing, -er, -est).  Infixes is a bound morpheme that is added within a word . Only expletives are used as infixes and in only a limited number of words. (abso-bl oodyl ut el y) Eg: Infixes are only permitted when the expletive is flanked by stress. This means that only words with initial stress will be candidates for infixation (unexpletive-believable but *unbe-expletive-lievable)....
