    The document defines key terms related to morphology including: - Morphemes, which are the smallest units of meaning in a language. There are bound morphemes like prefixes and suffixes that cannot stand alone as well as free morphemes. - Affixes are bound morphemes that are added before or after word bases. Types of affixes include prefixes and suffixes. - Derivation is the process of creating new words through the addition of affixes to word bases. Other word-formation processes discussed include compounding, blending, and clipping. - Allomorphs are variants of the same morpheme that can have different phonetic forms depending on context.
