Morpheme. In Linguistics we can find that Morpheme is classified into two: Free
Morpheme and Bound Morpheme. Free Morpheme is a morpheme that can stand
alone (independent) without bound morpheme. For example : run, read, far, etc.
While bound morpheme is a morpheme that cannot stand alone (dependent) but
have to attach to free morpheme. For example: Affixation: Prefix, Suffix, and
Infix.

and verb /count/. While in Gayonese the are 7 prefixes : /mu-/, /pe-/, /be-/, /ke-/,
/te-/, /i-/, and /se-/. For example, the word munyara derives from the combination
of prefix /mu-/ and /sara/ which means unite in English and menyatu in

Morphology includes the stock or segmental morpheme and the ways in which
words are built out of them. Katamba (1994 : 3 ) says that morphology is study
of internal structure.

From the explanation given above, it is clear that morphology is the study
of word forming which also distinguish a word from morpheme. For example the
word /recheck/ has two morphemes : /re-/ which is bound morpheme and check
which is free morpheme. /Re-/ is dependent morpheme and can not stand alone if

these languages also use prefixation and infixation. Very few languages use only
prefixation, and none employ only infixation or any of the other types of
follows:
1. Prefixation
Example (English)
The prefix un- attaches to the front of the stem selfish to form the word
unselfish.
2. Suffixation
Example (English)
The past tense suffix -ed attaches to the end of the stem walk to form the
past tense verb walked.
The focus marker -um- is a infix which is added after the first consonant of the
root.
1. Circumfixation
2. Modification
Example (English)
The root man is modified when it it undergoes the pluralization that results
in the form men.
