Generation

A **phoneme** is the smallest unit of sound in a language that can distinguish meaning (e.g., /p/ versus /b/ in "pat" versus "bat"), while a **morpheme** is the smallest unit of meaning (e.g., "un-" meaning "not" or "-s" indicating plural). Phonemes are purely about sound and have no inherent meaning on their own, whereas morphemes always carry semantic or grammatical information. **Key relationship**: Words are composed of morphemes, and morphemes are composed of phonemes, expressed as: **Phonemes → Morphemes → Words**.
