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?
 
  A. It is an inflectional morpheme because it doesn't change the topic of the word: both typing and a typist are part of the same activity.
  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.
  D. None of these answers are correct descriptions of that kind of morpheme.
