    3. Phoneme and morpheme relationship. The relation between phonemes and grammatical units such as morphemes and words is therefore an aspect of the interface between Phonology and morphology. Both Phonology and Morphology study various aspects in languages all over the world. Considering the similarities of these fields, both are engaged in the scientific analysis of languages. Both are branches of Linguistics and without studying Phonology, one cannot move on to Morphology. Hence, there is an inter-relationship

    Although he examined semantics and grammar as well, the part concerning the order of morpheme acquisition is of the most interest to this paper. Brown proposed that morpheme acquisition follows a fairly regular process or order. He came to this conclusion after performing an in-depth analysis of the morpheme acquisition of his three test subjects.

    Analysis: this strategy involves breaking a word into morphemes (the smallest linguistic units that have meaning) and using their meanings to figure out the meaning of the whole word. There are two types of morphemes: free, which can stand alone (e.g. some), and bound, which must be linked to words or other morphemes (i.e. prefixes ad suffixes). Teachers should introduce a new morpheme and its meaning and introduce words containing that morpheme. Then, teachers should provide practice for determining
