Arabic Morphology

Arabic morphology is the study of how words are constructed and how their forms change to express different meanings or grammatical functions. It involves root words, usually three consonants, which serve as the core, and various patterns or templates applied to them to create related words—such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives. This system allows for rich derivation and word formation, with modifications like adding prefixes, suffixes, or internal changes. Arabic morphology is essential for understanding the language’s structure, enabling speakers to generate and interpret a wide range of words from a single root efficiently.
