What is the significance of the phoneme versus the morpheme? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
95 chars

Generation

A **phoneme** is the smallest unit of sound that distinguishes meaning (like /p/ vs. /b/ in "pat" vs. "bat"), while a **morpheme** is the smallest unit of meaning itself (like "un-" or "-ed"). The key distinction is that phonemes are sound-based building blocks without inherent meaning, whereas morphemes carry semantic or grammatical information—making phonemes relevant to pronunciation and morphemes relevant to word structure and meaning.
