34、eme vs. derivational morpheme（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案：Inflectional morphemes manifest various aspects of the grammatical function of a word without changing its grammatical category.

35、or example, both “hard“ and “harder“ are adjectives. The inflectional morpheme“-er“simply indicates a comparative degree. Derivational morphemes are bound morphemes added to existing forms to construct new words. Derivational morphemes are productive but they do not represent any syntactical relatio

36、n or grammatical categories.
