ABSTRACT Knowledge of morphemes, the smallest meaningful units within words, contributes to word reading skills, vocabulary, and text comprehension. However, selecting which morphemes to teach can present a challenge for teachers. To date, researchers have not systematically analyzed morphemes in English words to determine which ones are most useful for teachers. This study was conducted to identify high utility morphemes for instruction by determining the frequency with which morphemes occur in academic words. A database of 4,907 words was organized by content area and analyzed to determine how frequently specific roots and affixes appeared. The results are presented through morpheme frequency lists generated for the full collection and by content area. Finally, implications for instruction are discussed and additional resources for teachers are provided.

学术词汇中的语素频率：识别教学用语素

摘要 词素知识是单词中最小的有意义的单位，有助于提高单词阅读技巧、词汇量和文本理解能力。然而，选择教哪些语素对教师来说是一个挑战。迄今为止，研究人员还没有系统地分析英语单词中的语素，以确定哪些对教师最有用。本研究旨在通过确定语素在学术词汇中出现的频率来识别教学用的高效用语素。一个包含 4,907 个单词的数据库按内容区域进行组织并进行分析，以确定特定词根和词缀出现的频率。结果通过为完整集合和内容区域生成的词素频率列表呈现。最后，
