- In linguistics,  a morph is a word segment that represents one morpheme in sound or writing. For example, the word infamous is made up of three morphs--in-, fam(e), -eous--each of which represents one morpheme. A morph that can stand alone as a word is called a free morph. For example, the adjective big, the verb walk, and the noun home are free morphs (or roots). A morph that can't stand alone as a word is called a bound morph; the endings -er (as in bigger), -ed (as in walked), and -s (as in homes) are bound morphs (or affixes). While a morpheme is an abstract unit of meaning, a morph is a formal unit with a physical shape. See Examples and Observations below. 1  Also, see: 2  Allomorph. 3  Bound Morpheme and Free Morpheme. 4  Derivational Morpheme and Inflectional Morpheme. 5  Lexicogrammar. 6  Morphology. 7  Phonology. 8  Replacive. 9  Stem. 10  Zero Plural.
