Free Morphemes

     Free Morphemes is is a morpheme that can stand alone into a word without having to be attached to other morphemes. Free morphemes have several types that is nouns, adjectives and others.

                   Example :

                   Nouns: girl, hat, house, fire

Verbs: walk, sleep, say, eat

Adjectives: quick, nice, fun, big

Free morpheme can be divided into 2, the first lexical morpheme (open class) and the second functional morpheme (closed class).

Lexical morphemes are morpheme can be added with affixes such as suffix(awalan) or prefix (akhiran)

Example :

Noun              : House + s = Houses
Adjective       : Un + Happy = Unhappy
Verb               :  Write + s = Writes
Adverb           : Slow + ly =Slowly

Functional morphemes are morphemes that cannot be preffix and suffix affixes

Example :

Prepositions :  At, On

Pronouns : I, you, they

Conjunction : And, Or, But

Bound Morphemes

Bound Morphemes are morphemes that cannot stand alone but must be bound / attached to other morphemes. Bound morphemes are divided into 2, namely derivational morphemes and inflectional morphemes.

• Derivational morphemes are morphemes which when attached / attached to other morphemes will form new morphemes / words or to form words with different grammar (lexeme) from the previous word. In derivational there are 2 types, namely, there can be in the beginning of a word (prefixes) or in the end of a word (suffixes), in Indonesian we usually know it as affixes.

Example: the word beautiful (adj) is derived from the word beauty (noun) which is added with the morpheme "ful" which changes the noun to an adjective. So from that reason, the morpheme "ful" is included in the suffix derivational morphemes (at the end of the word) because it changes the word from noun lexeme to become an adjective lexeme.

• Inflectional morphemes are morphemes that are tied / affixed to other morphemes which are only to identify grammar, not to produce new words or form words with a different grammar (lexeme) from the previous word.

Example: the word books (noun) is derived from the word book (noun), here book turns into books because to explain that there are many books (plural), so it doesn't change the lexeme of the word, because the word book to books remains in lexeme the same one namely noun lexeme.

 Allomorph

Allomorph is a form variant of the morpheme which describes sounds and phonetic symbols but does not change the meaning of the word.

Like the example below:

1.      Their "An" and "A" are Allomorphs for example, "An Apple" and "A Banana '' sound and spell differently, but they both have the same meaning which is a single meaning.

2.      "in" and "il" they are Allomorphs, for example, the words "incapable" and "illegal". The two words here are different in sound and spelling, but they both have the same meaning, namely negative meaning.

                So Allomorph is a morpheme variant of sound, spelling and phonetics which does not change the meaning by adjusting the conditions.

SUMMARY

                   Free morphemes, bound morphemes and allomorphs are part of the type of morphemes, Free Morphemes is a morpheme that can stand alone into a word without having to be attached to other morphemes , Bound Morphemes are morphemes that cannot stand alone but must be bound / attached to other morphemes and Allomorph is a form variant of the morpheme which describes sounds and phonetic symbols but does not change the meaning of the word.
