[quotes-for-reference]

One thing I'm sure Colborne will never understand is that I need language to live, like food – lexemes and morphemes and morsels of meaning nourish me with the knowledge that, yes, there is a word for this. Someone else has felt it before.

Introduction to Morphology - Resource Guide 3

Today's newsletter is our third Resource Guide, and it's for teaching an introduction to morphology. Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words. Studying morphology can help us understand how different languages create new words and modify existing words. We'll look at how words go together in our resource guide to constituency next Friday.
