1.a) comfortable comfort (free morpheme/noun), -able (bound derivational suffix)b) Massachusetts (free morpheme/noun)c) environmentally environment (free/noun), -al (bound derivational suffix), -ly

(bound derivational suffix)d) reconditioned re- (bound derivational prefix), condition (free/verb), -ed (bound

inflectional suffix)e) unidirectional uni- (bound derivational prefix), direction (free/noun), -al

(bound derivational suffix)f) senseless sense (free/verb), -less (bound derivational suffix). This one is

confusing to me because less is normally an adjective meaning “not as much.” I figured that since the definition of –less (the possible morpheme) is slightly different (meaning without), it is definitely a morpheme.

g) thickeners thick (free/adjective), -en (bound derivational suffix), -er (bound derivational suffix), -s (bound inflectional suffix)

h) nationalization nation (free/noun), -al (bound derivational suffix), -ize (bound derivational suffix), -ation (bound derivational suffix)

i) unspeakably un- (bound derivational prefix), speak (free/verb), -able (bound derivational suffix), -ly (bound derivational suffix)

2.a) refriend: to friend again. Assuming that “friend” is used as a verb (because re-

does not pair with nouns), adding the prefix re- before a verb means to repeat that verb.

b) friendship: the state of being friends. The morpheme –ship is used with other nouns that have nearly identical meanings to friend, such as companion and kin. When attached to one of these other nouns, the suffix implies a state of being these nouns.

c) Friendship is a noun. The morpheme un- cannot precede a noun (i.e. unwindow, unchair).

3.a) house: evin: -deto: -efrom: -denmy: -imour: -imiz (im+iz)your: -in

b)from our houses: evlerimizdento the hand: elein your hands: ellerinde

c) im: my (first person possessive)imiz: my and others’ (first person plural possessive)

There is no distinct morpheme for our. –iz is added to im (my) to make our, or the first person plural possessive. In this case, the morpheme -iz makes the morpheme im plural. –iz can roughly translate, from the info I was given, to “and others’.”

4.a) mis- + VERB (transitive) VERB (transitive)b) The prefix mis- is derivational because it creates a new lexical entry when

added to pronounce or pronounceable. While pronounceable means “able to be pronounced,” mispronounceable means “able to be pronounced incorrectly.”

5. Hypothesis A makes more sense because the prefix in- only pairs with an adjective (conceivable) and never a verb (in-conceive).
