Question 2

Consider the morpheme ist, which means a person who performs an action: an illusionist is someone who performs illusions and a typist is someone who types. What kind of morpheme is this and why?

  B. It is derivational morpheme because it changes the kind (the syntactic category) of word it is on: type is a verb but typist is a noun.
  C. It is a compounding morpheme because it adds meaning to the original word: typist provides more information than typing.
