Dear all,
I am have trouble with C-BB and C-FB in 2 words morpheme and phoneme. I can divide each them into 2 morphemes:
- morpheme : morph(-) ??? + -eme
- phoneme : phon- + -eme
As far as we know, phon- is the prefix meaning "sound", thus -eme is a bound base meaning "significant contrastive unit"
=> morph- is the prefix , but my teacher said that it is a base. Could you tell me it is correct or incorrect?
Best regards,
