Consider the sentence "The small child tired was." Apply the following terms to some element, of the sentence: • Phoneme • Morpheme • Semantics • Syntax
Solution
Verified-This sentence contains many phonemes, which are the individual sounds that make up the words. For example, the “s” sound in “small” or the “d” sound in “tired” are phonemes.
-The sentence also contains only one morpheme (that is, the smallest unit of meaning in a language) for every word. For example, the word “child” is a morpheme meaning “young individual.”
-Semantics refers to meaning. Despite its troubled syntax (see below), the sentence clearly carries the meaning that a child is tired. [Note: This module does not define the term “semantics”]
-Syntax refers to the rules of ordering words to make clear sentences. This sentence violates standard English syntax, which puts predicate adjectives after the verb.
