What is structure?

The structure of words is the form of words, which can be divided into simple words and compound words.

Related introduction:

1. Simple words:

A word composed of one morpheme is called a simplex word. Monosyllabic words, such as Tian, Jiang, Shui and Tian, and disyllabic words, such as Shu Dian, Qiu Gen and Hong Kai, are pure tone words.

2. Compound words:

A word composed of two or more morphemes (also called morphemes) is called a compound word. Compound words account for the vast majority in modern Chinese vocabulary. In compound words, most of them are composed of two morphemes, and a few of them are more than two morphemes.

Extended data

Morpheme is the smallest combination of sound and meaning in a language. In other words, a language unit must meet the three conditions of "minimum, sound and meaning" at the same time to be called a morpheme, especially "minimum" and "meaning".

Monosyllabic language units can be directly judged by the definition of morphemes, and disyllabic and polysyllabic language units can be replaced by known morphemes, that is, language units to be determined whether they are morphemes or not can be replaced. Morphemes and non-morphemes can be combined with other morphemes to form words.
