Which classifier represents external shapes such as picture frames or clump of grass?

• A. Perimeter-Shape Morphemes
• B. On-Surface Morphemes
• C. Depth and Width Morphemes
• D. Extent Morphemes

Answer: (A)

Perimeter-shape morphemes are used to convey the outer boundary of an object. When you want to show the external shape of something, you trace or outline its edges with your hands to communicate its overall contour. A picture frame has a distinct outer border, so using this classifier captures that perimeter. A clump of grass also has a recognizable outer edge, and outlining that boundary communicates its general shape to the viewer. In contrast, on-surface morphemes describe something resting on a surface rather than its outline, depth and width morphemes indicate specific dimensions rather than the full boundary, and extent morphemes express overall amount or spread rather than contour.
