Morphology and Word Formation mind maps

These maps present word structure and formation as connected ideas. The map on word formation processes brings together topics such as borrowing, clipping and compounding. Morphemes and lexemes distinguishes free and bound morphemes and includes lexemes and meaning. Other maps focus on inflection or derivation.

Study with a map

Start with Morphemes and lexemes if you want to connect word parts with meaning. Follow its branches, then cover the map and explain the distinction between free and bound morphemes in your own words. Reopen it to check what you remembered.

For a closer look at word formation, compare the maps on inflection and derivation. Notice how each organizes its points, then try sketching the connections yourself. If you want to check your recall in a different way, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the unit page.

Choose a map and follow its branches at your own pace.
