In the mouth and pharynx, it consists of skeletal muscle that aids in swallowing. In the rest of the digestive tract, it consists of smooth muscle (three layers in the stomach, two layers in the small and large intestines) and associated nerve fibers.

"Why do linguists say that the smallest unit of meaning is a morpheme when the letter ""X"" clearly carries meaning all its own?" The initial /b/ or /d/ in your examples doesn't carry meaning--it's only part of a morpheme. The test: can you switch /b/ to /d/ in another word to change the meaning in the same way, to distinguish between apart and together? No. In fact, in most of your di- examples, di- is not a morpheme, the entire word is. While divorce is a word, it cannot be broken down into a prefix di- and a stem vorce.. What you are discussing are semantic properties, the meanings that are in the halo of the word.

- Each morpheme may have a different set of allomorphs. For example, -en is a second allomorph that marks plural in nouns (irregular, in only three known nouns: ox/ox+en, child/childr+en, brother/brether+en). The morph -en is linked to the allomorph -en, which occurs in complementary distribution with -s.

Morpheme 1 Derivational morphemes, when combined with a root, change either the semantic meaning or part of speech of the affected word. 2  For example, in the word happiness, the addition of the bound morpheme-ness to the root happy changes the word from an adjective (happy) to a noun (happiness). Inflectional morphemes modify a verb 's tense or a noun's number without affecting the word's meaning or class. 2  Examples of applying inflectional morphemes to words are adding-s to the root dog to form dogs and adding-ed to wait to form waited. 3  In English, there are eight inflections.
