This article provides a comprehensive analysis of bound morphemes, which are morphemes that cannot stand alone and are crucial components in the structure of words. Bound morphemes play a fundamental role in morphological studies as they contribute to meaning, grammatical relationships, and linguistic diversity across languages. This review examines the various types and functions of bound morphemes, including derivational and inflectional morphemes, and explores their cross-linguistic variations. By analyzing current research, this article aims to present a clearer understanding of bound morphemes' significance in language construction, while highlighting their impact on word formation, syntax, and linguistic typology.
