Exercises Just as a phoneme is the basic unit in the study of phonology, so is a morpheme the basic unit in the study of morphology. The smallest meaningful units that can be used freely all by themselves are free morphemes. The existing form to which a derivational affix can be added is called a stem, which can be a bound root, a free morpheme, or a derived form itself. Prefixes usually modify the part of speech of the original word, not the meaning of it. Phonetically, the stress of a compound always falls on the second element, while the first element receives secondary stress.
