Sometimes a derivational affix changes the meaning of the stem but does not change its lexical category. E.g. "happy" is an adjective and "unhappy" is also an adjective. So derivational affixes can change either category of a word (as in "talk" "talkative" or the meaning as in "happy" "unhappy" or both as in "freeze" "antifreeze."

[dsanor]

What Mr. Linguistics calls "lexical morphemes" might be better called open class words. Parts of speech or lexical categories are made up or words, some of which are free morphemes and some of which are complex words made up of more than one morpheme. Then that open class could include words like "hand" and words like "hands".

Unfortunately, the vid. camera wasn't set up correctly. I would try my best to reintroduce this section about morphology again in a better and high resolution.

Thank you for your comment

[krieg606]

The explanaton is great unfortunately we cannot read what you write on board. You should make another video where we can read very welll or you prepare a board or chart to read what you explain I guess that would better. Thanks for sharing and congratulations. Please, do it!

-inflectional morphemes (continued)

do not change the type of the stem. talk --> talks. still a verb. talked. still a verb. so the stem type is not changing.

[gRaCi3La89]

types of free morphemes:

-lexical morphemes (nouns, verbs, adjectives)

-functional morphemes (have a function. articles, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions)

eg, the car. "the" - functional morpheme. "car" - lexical morpheme.

types of bound morphemes

-derivational morphemes (used to derive some other form from the stem. talk, talks. "talk" as as free morpheme is a stem. talkative- it becomes an adjective. changes the type of the stem; derivational.)

-inflectional morphemes (inflections)

[gRaCi3La89]

types of morphemes:

-free

-bound

eg, talk + s ("talk" is a free morpheme b/c it has a meaning and can stand alone. the "s" alone has no meaning and hence is bound)

[gRaCi3La89]

notes:

morphology- the study of the internal structure of a word

phonology--> phonemes

morphology--> morphemes (each part of a word is a morpheme. so for talks. talk + s. both are morphemes. making. make + ing)

morpheme-the smallest meaningful unit

actually, it is very useful video for the ones who are specialized in English. However, I've some comments about what you have done. The voice is not that much clear and you've to make your hand writing big. All in all, wish you all the luck in your life.
