In linguistics, Morphology is the identification, analyses
and description of the structure of given language morphemes, as well as other
linguistic units such a root words, affixes, parts of speech, intonation and
stresses or implied context. The aim of morphology is the describe the form of
words in language, it pins down the principles for relating the form and
meaning of morphological expressions.
The two main branches of morphology are lexical or derivational
morphology,
these studies the way in which new items of vocabulary can be built up
out of combinations of elements (as in the case of in-destruct-able). inflectional morphology studies the ways words vary in their
form in order to express a grammatical contrast (as in the case of horses, where the ending marks plurality)." The
study of morphology helps speakers to acquire the skills of using them
creatively, and consequently express their emotions and thoughts with fluency.
