pproximately 67% of the total number, adjectives about 86%, whereas compound nouns make about 15%. root words come to 18% in nouns, i.e. a trifle more than the number of compound words; adjectives root words come to approximately 12%. but we cannot fail to perceive that root-words occupy a predominant place. in english, according to the recent frequency counts, about 60% of the total number of nouns and 62% of the total number of adjectives in current use are root words. of the total number of adjectives and nouns, derived words comprise about 38% and 37% respectively while compound words comprise an insignificant 2% in nouns and 0.2% in adjectives. thus, it is the root-words that constitute the foundation and the backbone of the vocabulary and that are of paramount importance in speech. it should also be mentioned that root words are characterized by a high degree of collocability and …

but the relationships of meaning are tenuous. grammarians are not in agreement. some brush aside the semantic difficulties and take each word as two morphemes, following the phonemic shapes; others - regard the parallelisms of phonemic shape as unconvincing and take each word as a single morpheme. similar problems appear in the analysis of almost every language. an obvious practical step is to set the morphemic problem aside, recognizing that each form is an idiom whether it is one or more morphemes”. (charles hockett) in most cases the morphemic structure of words is transparent enough and individual morphemes clearly stand out within the word. the segmentation of words is generally carried out according to the method of immediate and ultimate constituents. this method is based on the binary principle, i.e. each stage of the procedure involves two components the word immediately breaks into. at each stage these two components are …

erve in each cut the structural order of the constituents. a diagram presenting the three cuts described looks as follows: 1. un- / gentlemanly 2. un- / gentleman / - ly 3. un- / gentle / - man / - ly a similar analysis on the word-formation level showing not only the morphemic constituents of the word but also the structural pattern on which it is built. the analysis of word-structure at the morphemic level must proceed to the stage of ultimate constituents, for example, the noun “friendliness” is first segmented into the ics: friend recurring in the adjectives friendly-looking and friendly and -ness found in a countless number of nouns, such as unhappiness, blackness, sameness, etc. the 1c -ness is at the same time an uc of the word, as it cannot be broken into any smaller elements possessing both sound-form and meaning. any further division of -ness would …

h words as «deform», «denature», «denominate». the remaining part «nationalize» can be broken into «national» and «ize»: the reason is the same (organize, humanize, standardize etc). «national» — into «nation» and «al» because «al» occurs in a number of words such as: occupational, musical, conditional etc). at each stage of the process we receive two constituents. the part of the word «denationalize» de,-nation,al-,ize-r are ultimate constituents because they can not be divided further. they are morphemes. in our example only «nation» can be said as a free morpheme, as it is like a wordform and can be used in isolation, de-.-al, -ize, are bound morphemes because they can't be used separately and do not coincide with wordforms. morphemes may be classified: a) from the semantic point of view, b) from the structural point of view. semantically morphemes fall into two classes: r o o t - m o r p …
