Analyze and comment on the following.Analyze the morphological structures of the following words and point out the types of the morphemes. unbearable, international, ex-prisoner
【正确答案】:

1)EACH OF THE THREE WORDS CONSISTS OF THREE MORPHEMES UNBEARABLE(UN+BEAR+ABLE), INTERNATIONAL (INTER+NATION+AL), EX-PRISONER(EX+PRISON+ER).
2)OF THE NINE MORPHEMES, ONLY BEAR, NATION AND PRISON ARE FREE MORPHEMES AS THEY CAN EXIST BY THEMSELVES.
3)ALL THE REST UN-,-ABLE, INTER-,-AL, EX-AND-ER ARE BOUND AS NONE OF THEM CAN STAND ALONE AS WORDS.


【题目解析】:1)这三个词中的每一个都包含三个词素:不可忍受(un+bear+able)、国际(inter+nation+al)、前囚犯(ex+prison+er)。2)在九个语素中,只有bear、nation和prison是自由语素,因为它们可以独立存在。3)其余的”un-,-able,inter-,-al, ex-和-er“,都是粘着词素,因为他们都不能作为独立的词存在。
