Grammar encompasses morphology (the formation and composition of words), syntax (the rules that determine how words, a blend is a word formed from parts of two other words. These parts are sometimes, but not always, morphemes In morpheme-based morphology, a morpheme is the smallest linguistic unit that has semantic meaning. In spoken language, morphemes are composed of phonemes , and in written language morphemes are composed of graphemes (the smallest units of written language).
