Generation

# Phoneme vs. Morpheme **Phoneme**: The smallest unit of *sound* in a language that distinguishes meaning (e.g., /p/ vs. /b/ in "pat" vs. "bat"). **Morpheme**: The smallest unit of *meaning* in a language (e.g., "un-" "break" "-able" in "unbreakable"). This distinction matters because it separates the sound system from the meaning system of language—phonemes have no inherent meaning themselves but create meaning contrasts, while morphemes carry actual semantic content. Confusing these levels leads to misunderstanding how language is structured, as multiple phonemes combine to form morphemes, which then combine to form words.
