From UseE
A word is the smallest unit of a language that can
exist on its own in either written or spoken language. A
morpheme
such as -ly, used to create an
adverb
cannot exist without the
adjective
it modifies; it is not a word, although the adjective it modifies
can exist alone and, therefore, is a word:
The woman was robbed.
(4 words- an article
a noun an
auxiliary
verb and a
past participle.
'Robbed' consists of the
verb
'rob' and the -ed morpheme to show that it is a past participle so the
sentence has 5 morphemes.)
