typomorphology

Typomorphology is the study of how the shapes and structures of words, especially their forms and patterns, are organized within language. It examines how different parts of words—like roots, prefixes, and suffixes—are arranged and how their form relates to their function and meaning. This field helps linguists understand how words are built, changed, and related to each other across languages, revealing the underlying principles that govern word formation and structure. Essentially, typomorphology explores the patterns and rules that shape the visual and structural aspects of words in a language.
