Morphology/ pragmatics/ syntax/ semantics

Question 1

Morphemes

Answer 1

are the smallest meaningful units of language that have meaning. A single word or letter may be a morpheme (e.g., I, the, apple, basket, -s, -y), or words may be formed by combining multiple morphemes such as roots, bases, and affixes.

Question 2

Morphology

Answer 2

includes word parts like roots and affixes and various word endings that make a word change in number or part of speech

Question 3

semantics

Answer 3

is the meaning system of language. Semantics is what attaches meaning to the sentence and ensures it makes sense. The sentences below both use correct syntax; however, only one makes sense, which is semantics

Question 4

syntax

Answer 4

how words are combined to form meaningful sentences. Understanding the syntax may continue developing along with understanding complex language and language structures. ex) dog go - The dog goes outside.

Question 5

Basic syntax rules (3)

Answer 5

Complete sentences generally contain both a subject and a predicate.
The subject is always a noun or pronoun.
The predicate must have a verb

Question 6

Pragmatics

Answer 6

refers to the social rules and conventions that guide how language effectively communicates with others in a given situation. It involves understanding the definitions of words and how context and tone may affect their meaning.
