For example, ’Gazillion’ contains two morphemes – ga and zillion.’

例如gazillion包含两个词素——ga和zillion。

For example, Anishinaabemowin, like most Indigenous languages, is what's called polysynthetic, which means that there are very, very long words, composed of little tiny pieces called morphemes.

比如说，阿尼什纳比语，就像大多数土著语一样，被称为多式综合语，意思是，有些很长很长的词是由简短的词素组成的。

’ Number four – a morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning in a language.

第四个词-词素是语言中最小的意义位。

But we still have a sense that these are quite small, because of the morphemes -ty and –teen.

但是我们仍然感觉这些都表示比较小的数字，因为其中-ty和-teen的音素。

So when we put a funny morpheme at the front to make zillion, jillion, or squillion, we understand that the number is probably more than a million.

所当我们把一个玩的词素放在词面构成zillion，jillion或者squillion这些词时，我们可理解这个词或许比百万要大。

OK, I heard umpteen and umpty, which end in the morphemes -teen and –ty, like fifteen and fifty.

的，我听到了无数，还有若干这两个词，它们像十五和四十一样，是teen和ty音素结尾的。

How many morphemes does the average speaker know?

普通说话者知道多少个语素？

And when a morpheme is used like this, it's called an affix.

当一个语素这样使用时，它被称为词缀。

But unlike Wilkins, he wanted it to be easy to learn, so he borrowed familiar morphemes from existing Indo-European languages, like hom- for man, and am- for love, and a very simple, predictable grammar.

但与威尔金斯不同的是， 他希望它易于学习，因此他从现有的印欧语系中借用了熟悉的语素，例如 hom- 表示人， am- 表示爱，及一种非常简、可预测的语法。

When a root is combined with an extra bound morpheme, a stem is formed, which can be either an independent word, or a base to which an extra bound morpheme can be added.

当一个词根与一个额外的有界语素结合时，就形成了词干，它可是一个独立的词，或者是一个可添加额外有界语素的基础。

Neurolinguists seek to identify the parts of the brain involved with the production and understanding of language and to determine where the components of language (phonemes, morphemes, and structure or syntax) are stored.

神经语言学家试图确定大脑中与语言产生和理解有关的部分，并确定语言成分（音素、语素、结构或句法）的存储位置。

Morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning in language.

语素是语言中意义的最小位。

Underlying representation: is the abstract form that a word or morpheme is postulated to have before any phonological rules have applied to it. Surface representation: a surface representation is the phonetic representation of the word or sound.

底层表示：是在应用任何语音规则之词或语素被假定具有的抽象形式。表面表征：表面表征是词或声音的语音表征。

Allomorphs, on the other hand, are different phonetic or written variations of a morpheme that represent the same underlying meaning.

也可是束缚的。 另一方面，同质异形是语素的不同语音或书面变体， 代表相同的潜在含义。

Well, in 2015, a researcher called Michael Dow did just that, only counting the words that have one morpheme.

吧， 在2015年， 一位名叫迈克尔·多伊的研究人员就是这样做的，他只计算了一个词素的词。

Allomorph: Allomorphs are different phonetic or written variations of a morpheme. They represent the same morpheme but may appear differently depending on the context or the morphological rules of the language.

同质异形体：同质异形体是语素的不同语音或书面变体。它们代表相同的语素，但根据上下文或语言的形态规则可能会有所不同。

These little atoms of language, these bits of meaning that can't be split any further, are called morphemes: we've talked about those before.

这些语言的小原子， 这些不能再分割的意义位，被称为语素：我们之讨论过这些。

Morphemes can have multiple allomorphs depending on the context or morphological rules of a language.

根据语言的上下文或形态规则， 语素可有多个同质异形体。

Inter- and intra-linguistically, a certain grammatical function might be undertaken by an inflectional morpheme or alternatively by a single function word.

在不同语言之间和语言内部，某个语法功能可能由屈折语素承担，或者由一个一的功能词承担。

But affixes aren't just prefixes and suffixes: there are also infixes, morphemes that slot into the middle of a word.

但词缀不仅包括缀和后缀，还包括中缀， 也就是插入到词中间的语素。
