Morphological Studies

Morphological studies explore the structure and formation of words in a language. This involves analyzing how words are built from smaller units called morphemes—the smallest meaningful parts, such as roots, prefixes, and suffixes. By understanding these components and how they combine, linguists can uncover rules about word formation, discover patterns, and understand how language evolves. Morphology helps us see how new words are created, and how existing words change over time, providing insight into the connections between words and their meanings within a language.
