词干

A term often used in linguistics as part of a classification of kinds of elements operation within the structure of a word. The stem may consist solely of a single root morpheme, or of two root morphemes, or of a root morpheme plus a derivational affix. All have in common the notion that it is to the stem that inflectional affixes are attached.

语言学经常用来给词的结构内部各种成分分类。词干可以只由一个根语素组成，也可由两个根语素组成，也可由一个根语素加一个派生词缀组成。这些都含有一个共同概念，即词干是屈折词缀附接其上的成分。
