Free morpheme

From Free net encyclopedia

In linguistics, free morphemes are morphemes that can stand alone, unlike bound morphemes, which only occur as parts of words. In the English sentence colorless green ideas sleep furiously, for example, color, green, idea, sleep and furious are all free morphemes, whereas -less, -s and -ly are all bound morphemes.
