Morphology (linguistics)- Term 5
Morphology
In linguistics, morphology is the identification, analysis, and description of
the structure of a given language's morphemes and other linguistic units, such
as root words, affixes, parts of speech, intonations and stresses, or implied
context. In contrast, morphological typology is the classification of languages
according to their use of morphemes, while lexicology is the study of those
words forming a language's wordstock.
