Talk:Vietnamese morphology

Vietnamese monosyllabic or not?
"Vietnamese is often erroneously considered to be a "monosyllabic" language." I have issues with this statement, not the least of which is that this statement has no references.

I do not know of any Vietnamese "morpheme" that cannot stand alone i.e. every Vietnamese word consists of a single morpheme, which morpheme always can stand alone. Since there are no Vietnamese morphemes that can not stand alone, every Vietnamese morpheme is a word, and therefore Vietnamese is a monosyllabic language.

Supply a reference to support the "Vietnamese is not a monosyllabic language" claim, or name at least one Vietnamese morpheme that cannot stand alone, else "Vietnamese is not a monosyllabic language" is wrong and needs to be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aqn (talk • contribs) 04:08, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
