These videos are the only thing keeping me motivated, my professor doesn't do any zoom or lecture so hearing you explain these topics is so helpful and pieces together all my puzzle pieces of question in my head. Thank you for your service

Thank u Soo much, Iam really so thankful. I will never forget this ,and how it's helped me💜
Sheer brilliantly done. Super easy clarification
I've leaned a lot , thanks 💜
Could you help me understanding the course of language acquisition theory . Actually what is hard to understand is the reinforcement . I have understood the experement of Skinner box and the reinforcement here is( the pellets of food) , but what is the form or the kind of the reinforcemnt that the baby gets to acquire language ?
Thank you!! This video is very helpful. However, I'm wondering does it mean that one word (e.g. disproportionately) could possibly contain two bases (i.e., proportionate and disproportionate) but only one root (i.e., proportion)?
Thank you so much! I've finally understood the disctinction.
You said that you’ve discussed root before can you tell me in which video you did or can you share the link, please?
thank you! As a linguistics student, this is so helpful!
Hi thanks for your great explanation. There is still a question in my mind. In the word "reader" the root and stem is read. How about the base? Is it read as well?
love ur video, keep going!!!
You helped me a lot ........ I definitely recomend this chanel
Sir, I have a question about a root, stem, base, and word. Could they happen to the same word and at the same time?
Unkempt is a cranberry morpheme. Would you make a video about it? Thank you very much
amazing channel , it helps me a lot
Thank you so much!! Sir 🙏🏻🌺
I've discussed this with my Linguistics class and we agree that kempt is a free morpheme in British English. Not common, but it does exist and everywhere you look textbooks and teachers are telling us it it's bound.

Thank you!!! I think I understood them!
The video is very useful, thanks.

what about the word "disabilities" ,pls help me .

Hello, are you still active? I wanted to know for a complex word, say, denationalisation, what would you choose the base as? National? Nationalise? Or Denationalise? I am confused, please help
best explanation on the internet!!! thank youuu!
Fantastic, Bombastic thank you for information so so much 👏👈✍👍
Q. What is the difference between a bound base and an affix ?:(
this is awesome... i understand it well but for some words i found, i still confuse because i have no idea what the root word is
So stem and affix are two relative concepts which define each other?
when I still don't understand about root, base and stem from the book, this video helps me very well.... thanks man :D

so why's active a stem if ity isn't an inflectional affix?
What is stem to word readjustable
I have a question What is bound stem ?
I find that working backwards helps me deconstruct a word. So I look at the final evolution of a word and work my way down instead of up. And I notice that the base is usually the word before the first transition. In other words the foundation (base). For example as you said in activity: Active + ity, active is the word that transfoms hence active is the base. It couldn't be "act" because it wpuld be act + ity ...there is the /v/ missing. But in active Act + ive is the word act that transforms by taking on ive hence act is the base.
thank u
i have a question so for the word Reteach, would (RE) be the root and (TEACH) be the stem?
@mahmoudabdelghader7988
2 жыл бұрын
No, "teach" is the stem and the root at the same time "re" is a derivational prefix.
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you so much! Looking forward to watching other videos!

but -ity in activity isn't an inflectional suffix. how can active be a stem? Stems only occur before an inflectional suffix right?
@AzeLinguistics
4 жыл бұрын
'-ity' is derivational. Stems may occur before inflectional or derivational suffixes. I am not aware of any book/linguist who may have defined stem otherwise. Please let me know if anything.

yes, activity is a stem because only -s can be added to make activities which is an inflectional suffix.

same bruh i just want simple definition with examples
Does the root haven to be a word that can stand on its own? So e.g. in irregular: Is it ir- + -regular (root) or ir- + -reg- (root) +-ular ?
@AzeLinguistics
4 жыл бұрын
Roots can be bound (not standing alone) or free.
Moreover, the definition you gave to stem is wrong because the stem is what remains when you remove all inflectional affixes.
So the word 'inactivity' has 3 or 4 morphemes?
