unit of phonology (sound system) and morpheme as the unit of grammar. As `cat’ consists of /k/ / / and /t/. According to these linguists‚ both `phoneme’ and `morpheme’ are units of form and not of meaning although there was a considerable controversy whether morpheme should be regarded as meaningful or not. The essential sense in which the approach is structural is that language is to be actually composed of morphemes in sequence‚ that is‚ strings of morphemes‚ and similarly‚ though at different level

morphological pattern is followed even for new words. Sometimes‚ the morphological structure of a word is misinterpreted which leads to reanalysis. The last example of morphological change is known as morphologisation‚ where a full word becomes a bound morpheme‚ like a prefix or suffix. An example is the Old English word ‘lic’ (like) into ‘manlic’ (man-like). In Modern English‚ ‘lic’ became ‘-ly’‚ and gave us words like
