Ma'am, you are INCREDIBLE!!! I have heard these three words explained in PDs and CTs but never have I ever understood them like you just explained THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I will do great on the Reading Praxis all thanks to you!!!!
We recently moved to UK and I heard the word grapheme for the first time in one of my son's homework. Never heard this word in India although I studied in an English medium school. Googled it and came to your well explained video.
I took a course on Phonetics and I can tell you, my teacher tried but I didn't understand a thing. I see this video and all of a sudden I understand everything. lol
It would be profoundly helpful if you would edit this video to include writing the phonemes, graphemes, and morphemes on your board for kit. I have not found an all inclusive video to illustrate these concepts; this would make this a perfect concept video.
Thank you so much for your video on phonemes, graphemes, and morphemes. I'm still looking for a video-class that deals with the 44 English sounds and the 74 basic ways to spell them.
Good video; a) Who are the first homo sapiens to use verbal communication? b) Who are the first homo sapiens to use writing of symbols? c) What is difference between a dialect, diction, accent and pronunciation and articulation? Thank you.
Thank you, Jennifer. This was beautifully explained. I especially liked the part about your embracing your daughter's mistakes due to her applying the rules she had learned.
Good question! Phonemes (sounds) are often shown in slash marks: /sh/, /t/, /f/. Graphemes (letters) are often shown in angled brackets, including digraphs and trigraphs (one sound represented by two or more letters): . During our Dot and Jot phoneme grapheme mapping activity (which we have a video for on our channel :)), we ask students to say segment words into sounds aloud as they fill in one dot for each sound. Then, they write the symbols (graphemes) used to represent these sounds in the boxes above the dots. Hope this helps!
I've only watched the first 3:24 of the video, but (to the inventors of this terminology [I'm sure they're smarter than I]) if graphemes represent the smallest units of sounds (such as K I T), why can't we just say graphemes are "letters" ? And if morphemes represent the smallest units of meaning (such as kit or kits), why can't we just say morphemes are "words" ?
I'm a little late in my response. :) A grapheme can be more than one letter "ch" or "igh". One word can have multiple morphemes - uni-corn-s = 3 morphemes
My cultural anthro class just go into linguistics but I've ever seen any of these terms before so this is a lifesaver! So well explained and demonstrated.
A profound kernel I gleaned from this clip was the point about comparatives like: the word FAST; and the word FASTER; and finally the superlative: FASTEST. It is shocking that even the most intelligent among Americans actually say things like: Which do you like BEST...this or that. Even when there are only two things. As a child growing up outside of the US, I knew the difference. It is: which do you like BETTER. Never mind the one about the concept of BETWEEN and AMONG. Or the crazy confusion about ME and I, HE and HIM, SHE and HER, THEM and THEY, as in: Mary and me are going shopping. Or This is for Mary and I. How do Americans learn the English language? Forget about the confusion with: IT BEGS THE QUESTION. Or ENAMORED WITH. If you are reading this, it is: enamored of. Beg the question means: to skirt the issue. It does not mean what it sounds like. - Godfrey Silas
Thank you so much for this, it helped me so much with my understanding of this subject that I have been struggling with! One thing that is still unclear to me however (that I would really appreciate if someone could clarify!) is situations where single meaning words have other morphemes from within their spelling, that aren't related to the original meaning of that word. Using your example of the word "ship", would "hip" be considered as another morpheme from "ship" since it has a separate meaning when used on its own? Another example I can think of is "kitten" - would this word have one or three morphemes - because "kit", "ten" and "kitten" are all independent morphemes from within this word. If this isn't the case (e.g. that "ship" and "kitten" do only contain morpheme) which I don't believe it is, would someone help me understand why it is not? I hope I have explained my question okay, it is quite difficult for me to word clearly. But thank you so much to anyone willing to help!
Remember, with morphemes, we are talking about units of meaning. Even though the letters (graphemes) that form the word "hip" is contained in "ship," one has nothing to do with the other, so each of those words has one morpheme. Now, remember, in "ship," /sh/ is one unit of sound (or phoneme), so ship has three phonemes, even though it has four letters (sh-i-p), and one morpheme. Hope this helps. For kitten, most people would ascribe it one meaning, but in reality, kit means "a young, furbearing animal" and the diminutive suffix "en" adds the meaning "small." So it has two morphemes.
As far as I know words like 'kit' 'kitten' 'hip' and 'ship' are of all one meaning each. So, they all have one morpheme each. However, the word 'kittens' is a plural form and has 2 morphemes. The root word 'kitten' is a singular form and has one morpheme. Kitten (singular form and has a meaning. So one morpheme with 2 syllables) whereas, kit (singular form and has a meaning. So, one morpheme with one syllable). Lastly, kittens is a plural form. It has a meaning and has 2 morphemes (kitten+s) with 2 syllables (ki+ ttens). Does it serve your purpose or confuses you more...😃

You're very welcome!
It's nice when someone really knows the subject and it just flows!!

Best explanation after searching everywhere, thanks!
WOW!! I had the hardest time with these. Crystal clear now! Thanks you so much
I know right. I didn't want to keep asking in PDs because I didn't want to appear unsmart, because I just didn't get it. Until now!
Thank you, Ma'am. Learned a lot from this.
Really great explanation! This helped me understand the concepts a lot better, I was having a lot of trouble understanding them.
We're glad to hear you enjoyed our video!
Best explanation ever!
Da way am interested to become a reading teacher, this video has helped me alot. Thank so much for da great work
Finally a video that explains it straight to the point. This was super helpful. Thanks so much!!
You are a good Teacher, so well explained...

"Take, Integrate, Apply"! OMG, this makes so much sense!
Thank you for explaining this so clearly!!! I'm taking a Linguistics course and watching videos help understand the material better!
You are so welcome. Let us know if there are other topics you would like to see us cover.
Jennifer , you are amazing! I loved the way you explained it! Thank you!
loved your explanation of morpheme!!!!!
Thank you! I’ve been searching for a clear explanation to these :-). Found it! Thanks
Wow! Beautiful explanation
Explained better than my professor. Thank you!

Well dressed, well explained, well pronounced and well sharp witted.. Thanks for all those wells
I'm training to be a teacher and this was so helpful! Thank you!
How is it?
This was a fabulous explanation
Thank you so much. You really helped me understand these concepts
Thanks a million, teacher. Understandable.

lovely hand writing. love it❤
Thank you so much. Great job
What a master class !
Thank you. This is very clear and easy to follow.
Thank u

Nice presentation 😊❤👍
This helps a lot thanks for making this video
Mam the video was fantastic
Really amazing
Totally stunning
Very well explained
Thanks alot
It was helpful for me.Thank you for such a wonderful video ,Miss Jennifer .
So cool and fluent in your explanations. Thank you
love your expanation! Helped me a lot!!! Thank you so much!
Awesome class mom 😎
This is superb lesson as well I can't enough to thank you
Wonderful work mem
It's an amazing explanation. Thank you so much . Go on the rest of the topics that are related to phonology and phonetics.
Does anyone know if a morpheme is necessarily a spoken or textual thing, or is it both? thank you
Thank you for sharing. Much appreciated
Very nice explained
Awesome. Thank you so much
Beautifully explained, thank you!
awesome teacher! thank you so much
Would an “ed” added to the end of a verb to indicate past tense be considered a morpheme?
Yes, because it is a unit of meaning. So, for instance, the word "play" consists of one morpheme and the word "played" consists of two.
Love the way you explain
The best at explaining
Thank you so much that was so helpful 🧡
I'm studying to become a speech pathologist...great vid
This is was so helpful when prepping for the praxis, thank you!
Great to hear. Let us know if there are other topics you would like us to cover.

Nice job and attractive presentation.
Clear elaboration - thanks for the video
Thank you so much it's helpful to me
So are graphemes and phonemes almost mapped the same way?
Good question! Phonemes (sounds) are often shown in slash marks: /sh/, /t/, /f/. Graphemes (letters) are often shown in angled brackets, including digraphs and trigraphs (one sound represented by two or more letters): . During our Dot and Jot phoneme grapheme mapping activity (which we have a video for on our channel :)), we ask students to say segment words into sounds aloud as they fill in one dot for each sound. Then, they write the symbols (graphemes) used to represent these sounds in the boxes above the dots. Hope this helps!
Very very helpful, respect from Pakistan.
perhaps they already had meaning however small and we'd evolved to ascribe letters and what those letters sound like and how theyd look on paper?
thank you! excellent explained

Well I would argue too it depends where in America you are - people speak pretty differently depending on the area
Thanks
Would 'it' in 'kit' not be a morpheme?
That is my question as well
I don't think so because the morpheme should have a meaning. If "it" is a morpheme what about "k"
Clearly explained. Thanks.
You are so welcome. Is there anything else you'd like to see explained?
Thank you so much for this video!

is'nt "ship" has 3 graphemes ( sh-i-p). Graphemes represent phonemes in writing form?
Yes!
