The term " Morphemes " and " Morphs " are comparable to the terms "Form" and "Substance" which was given by Ferdinand de Saussure . A M orphemes is a short part of a language that has or meets three criteria:- It is a word or a part of a word that has meaning. It cannot be divided into the smallest meaningful part. It recures in differing verbal environments with relatively stable meanings. A word is a single unit of language, which means something and can be spoken or written.

Linguistics: Substance and Form Linguistics studies the nature of various languages and puts forward many theories that are based on various factors and levels. For convenience linguists divided or categorized the language into different categories. In a language, we both have two terms " Substance and Form ." These two are also the qualities of languages. All the distinguished sounds produced by human speech and organs and the scripts that were produced by humans to communicate are called Substance . It has been categorized into two parts: oral and the second is written or graphic.
