What Is Morphology Of Language?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    It is a level at which the structure of language is analyzed. It deals with the analysis and examination of meaningful units of forms which make up sentences. The smallest meaningful units of forms are called "morphemes" which are either "free" or "bound." A free morpheme can occur on its own whereas bound morphemes do not occur alone. They accompany free morphemes in the formation of words and constituents. The English forms like Book, man, etc., are free morphemes and -ish (as in Bookish) and –ly (as in manly) are bound morphemes. Bound morphemes are of the three types, viz, prefix attached to the initial positions, infix inserted in the middle and suffix attached to the final position of the word. All the three types of bound morphemes are called "affixed."

    The variants of a morpheme are called "allomorphs." Their distribution is very clearly specified. Allomorphs are phonologically as well as morphologically condition. When allomorphs are determined by phonological criteria, they are said to be "phonologically conditioned" and when determined by morphological criteria, they are called "morphologically conditioned."

    There are two categories of suffixes, viz, "inflection" and "derivation" the suffix once affixed to a root does not allow further affixation of a suffix is called infection or inflectional suffix.
