Throughout the course of the year, we will focus on the morphemic structure of words. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a morpheme is "a grammatical element such as a prefix, suffix, preposition, conjunction, or stress pattern... in a linguistic system." In short, words can be broken down into parts, each of which contains a meaning. When these parts are combined into a word, that word takes on the meaning of its parts. For instance, anthropology is derived from anthropos meaning man and ology meaning study of. Therefore, the basic meaning of anthropology is the study of man. In the following activities you will research prefixes, roots, and suffixes in order to create your own words. Once you have created your words, peers from class will use their knowledge and resources to figure out their meanings and write sentences. Check out the following links to learn about common morphemes.
