Linguistic Structures

Linguistic structures refer to how language is organized and built. They include the rules and patterns that govern how words are formed (morphology), how they combine to form meaningful units (syntax), and how sounds correspond to meanings (phonology). These structures help us understand and generate sentences correctly, ensuring effective communication. Think of language as a complex system with rules, much like grammar in music or architecture, that enables us to create and interpret messages consistently across different contexts and speakers.
