Answer the following questions. Your answers should be clear and short. Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.What is the difference between a free root and a bound root?
THEY ARE IDENTICAL WITH ROOT WORDS, AS EACH OF THEM CONSISTS OF A SINGLE FREE ROOT, FOR EXAMPLE, MAN, EARTH, WIND, CAR, ANGER. THEREFORE, WE MIGHT AS WELL SAY THAT FREE MORPHEMES ARE FREE ROOTS.
A BOUND ROOT IS THAT PART OF THE WORD THAT CARRIES THE FUNDAMENTAL MEANING JUST LIKE A FREE ROOT. UNLIKE A FREE ROOT, IT IS A BOUND FORM AND HAS TO COMBINE WITH OTHER MORPHEMES TO MAKE WORDS.
