Part One: Morphemes, Bound & Free
For the first half of this assignment you’ll need to identify the morphemes in the text that follows. Begin by separating morphemes with slashes then list all the morphemes and classify them as free or bound. Keep in mind that free morphemes must be related to the original word. For example “firetruck” consists of two free morphemes “fire” and “truck,” but “some” is a single morpheme despite the fact that “so” and “me” could be considered individual free morphemes. This is because the meaning of “some” is not based on the morphemes “so” and “me.”

The text for Part One
Here is the text you must use to identify bound and free morphemes.
Some gentlemen dined at an economical restaurant. They found the service to be unacceptable and wished to express their unhappiness to the management. The manager was unavailable, so they brought the leftovers home to their dog who resided in a doghouse in the backyard.
Part Two: Phonemes and the International Phonetic Alphabet

For the next portion, identify all the phonemes in the text that follows. You may need to do a bit of research to find the symbols you need to express this. This link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet_chart_for_English_dialects) will take you to the Wikipedea page for the IPA symbols most used by the various English dialects. To assist you in entering this for submission you can use the following website to type your answers: http://ipa.typeit.org/full/. Then simply paste your results into a .doc, .docx, or .rtf file and upload it here.
Write your answer in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
