attached to some other morpheme
affix Correct Answer: a bound morpheme that is joined before, after, or within a root or stem

formation in a language.

Semantic slanting Correct Answer: the way of making statements so they can evoke a specific
emotional response.
ex. saying preemptive counterattack instead of invasion. because "invasion" produces more
negative feeling.
inflection process Correct Answer: the process by which affixes combine with roots with the
aim of indicating basic grammatical categories, for instance, tense, plurality (dog-s, call-ed: 's'
indicates plurality while 'ed' indicates the tense of the verb and are inflectional suffixes).
derivational morphemes Correct Answer: change the part of speech or the basic meaning of the
word (-ment added to 'judgement')
Speech Act Theory Correct Answer: When we speak, our words do not have meaning in and of
themselves. They are very much affected by the situation, the speaker and the listener. Thus
words alone do not have a simple fixed meaning.

grammar rules
speech acts Correct Answer: basic unit of communication. Is a minimal functional unit in human

directives Correct Answer: suggestions, requests
root Correct Answer: morphemes (and not affixes) that must be attached to another morpheme
and do not have a meaning of their own. Some examples are ceive in perceive and mit in submit.
Descriptive grammars Correct Answer: represent the unconscious knowledge of a language.
English speakers, for example, know that "me likes apples" is incorrect and "I like apples" is
correct, although the speaker may not be able to explain why. Descriptive grammars do not teach
the rules of a language, but rather describe rules that are already known.
