21.ONE LEXICAL ITEM WILL OFTEN CORRESPOND TO A WORD (CAT) OR A PHRASE (A HARD NUT) WHILE ONE PHRASE NEED NOT CORRESPOND TO A LEXICAL ITEM. EXPLAIN USING EXAMPLES AND NOTIONS SUCH AS 'CONSTITUENTS', 'PRODUCTIVITY', 'OPAQUENESS'.
Free morphemes fall into two catagories. The morphemes in the first category are called lexical morphemes and consist of the words carrying the content of the message. Examples: 'boy', 'man', 'house', 'tiger', 'yellow', 'look', 'break'. The morphemes in the second catagory are called functional morphemes and consist of the functional words in the langauge such as conjunctions, prepositions, articles and pronouns. Examples: 'and', 'but', 'on', 'near', above', 'in', 'the', 'that'.
according to above it not possible that you find A pharase (functional morphme) that be lexical.lexical and functional are belonge to diffenet category.

just like mehdi4u said
free morphemes consists of tow sections
Lexical and Functional morphemes
Lexical are ( verbs, noun,adj,adv)
ex; (eat,mona,good,well)
Functional are(pro, art,conj,prep)
ex; (she,the,and,to)
free morphemes we can use them alone
but bound morphemes we can't use them alone like "un-"
we use in unhappy , etc....
