What is Morphology?

 

Morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies the structure of words and how they are formed. It examines the ways in which words are built up from smaller units called morphemes, which are the minimal units of meaning in a language.

Morphology is concerned with the internal structure of words, including the way in which different morphemes are combined to form words, and the rules governing the formation and use of words in a language. It also deals with the study of inflections, which are changes to a word's form to indicate grammatical features such as tense, number, gender, etc.

Morphology is the study of how words are formed, and how they are related to each other. It is a subfield of linguistics that deals with the internal structure of words and the rules governing the formation and use of words in a language. It is closely related to syntax, which deals with the structure of sentences and how words are combined to create meaning, and semantics, which deals with the meaning of words and sentences. Together with phonology, syntax, and semantics, it forms the core of the linguistic study.
