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，被称为多式综合语，意思是，有些很长很长单词是由简短词素组成。

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

第四个词-词素是语言中最小意义单位。

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数字，因为其中-ty和-teen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.

所以当我们把个玩词素放在单词前面构成zillion，jillion或者squillion这些词时，我们可以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.

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

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.

当个语素这使用时，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.

但与威尔金斯不同是， 他希望它易于学习，因此他从现有印欧语系中借用了熟悉语素，例如 hom- 表示人， am- 表示爱，以及种非常简单、可预测语法。

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.

当个词根与个额外有界语素结合时，就形成了词干，它可以是个独立词，或者是个可以添加额外有界语素基础。

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部分，并确定语言成分（音素、语素、结构或句法）存储位置。

Morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning in language.

语素是语言中意义最小单位。

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前单词或语素被假定具有抽象形式。表面表征：表面表征是单词或声音语音表征。

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

也可以是束缚。 另方面，同质异形是语素不同语音或书面变体， 代表相同潜在含义。

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

吧， 在2015年， 位名叫迈克尔·多伊研究人员就是这做，他只计算了个词素单词。

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：同质异形体是语素不同语音或书面变体。它们代表相同语素，但根据上下文或语言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.

这些语言小原子， 这些不能再分割意义单位，被称为语素：我们之前讨论过这些。

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

根据语言上下文或形态规则， 语素可以有多个同质异形体。

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，或者由个单功能词承担。

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

但词缀不仅包括前缀和后缀，还包括中缀， 也就是插入到单词中间语素。
