AI overview
A morpheme is the smallest unit of language that carries meaning, and it can be either a whole word on its own or a piece of a word that contributes to its meaning. Understanding morphemes helps linguists analyze how words are built and how language conveys meaning through these basic building blocks.

語素（英語：morpheme）或词素，又称形态素、義基，可定义为语言中最小的有意义单位，或者说语言中最小的语音语义结合体（声音和意思的结合体），这种定义在汉语中最为常见；也可定义为语言中最小的有意义或语法功能的单位。以汉语为例，“人”、“仿佛”均是语素。语素的长度各异，例如“陀思妥耶夫斯基”是单独一个语素。词由一个或多个语素构成，例如“人马”一词中的“人”与“马”是两个语素；语素不一定是词，例如现代汉语中的语素“民”不属于词，不过汉语中的语素大部分是词，具有高度的分析特征。
