Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phonemes are the universal sound units that make up language. They are the basic building blocks of speech, and are combined to create words with meaning. Morphemes refer to the smallest units of language that carry meaning, but they are not universal sound units. Semantics refers to the meaning of words and sentences, while words are a combination of one or more morphemes. Therefore, the best choice is phonemes.
