Morphology
-Morphemes are the smallest meaningful unit of language
-Word can no longer be broken down and still have meaning
-Example: jumper, jumped, jumps, jumpy (morpheme is jump)
-Little research has been conducted
-Studies have shown deficits in morphology
-More likely to omit morphemes
-Difficulties with functors such as prepositions, conjunctions, and pronouns
-Ex.: Adult: What did the puppy do Katie?
Katie: Her jump.
-Ex.: Adult: What don't you want to do?
Katie: No bed.
