As discussed, there are two types of morpheme: FREE morpheme, and BOUND morpheme. FREE morpheme is then further divided into two: LEXICAL and FUNCTIONAL morpheme. BOUND morpheme is also further divided into two categories: DERIVATIONAL and INFLECTIONAL morpheme.

DERIVATIONAL morpheme changes the root's class of words OR its meaning, OR BOTH. The word 'unhappy' derives from the root HAPPY added with a prefix UN. Both 'happy' and 'unhappy' are adjectives. The meaning, however, is totally different. "I am unhappy" is totally different from "I am happy". In this case, the prefix UN is called DERIVATIONAL MORPHEME.

INFLECTIONAL morpheme, on the other hand, does not change either the root's class of words or the meaning. The word 'books', for example, derives from the root BOOK added with a suffix –S. Both 'book' and 'books' are NOUN. The meaning is still the same. The suffix –S only indicates the plural form. In this case, the suffix –S is INFLECTIONAL

 

Derivational Affixes
An affix can be either derivational or inflectional. "Derivational affixes"
serve to alter the meaning of a word by building on a base. In the
examples of words with prefixes and suffixes above, the addition of the
prefix un- to healthy alters the meaning of healthy. The resulting word
means "not healthy." The addition of the suffix -er to garden changes
the meaning of garden, which is a place where plants, flowers, etc., grow,
to a word that refers to 'a person who tends a garden.' It should be noted
that ALL prefixes in English are derivational. However, suffixes may be
either derivational or inflectional.

Inflectional Affixes
There are a large number of derivational affixes in English. In contrast,
there are only eight "inflectional affixes" in English, and these are all
suffixes. English has the following inflectional suffixes, which serve a
variety of grammatical functions when added to specific types of words.
These grammatical functions are shown to the right of each suffix.

-s noun plural
-'s noun possessive
-s verb present tense third person singular
-ing verb present participle/gerund
-ed verb simple past tense
-en verb past perfect participle
-er adjective comparative
-est adjective superlative
