Morphological analysis

Here, we are going to explore the basic terminology used in field of morphological analysis. The terminology and concepts will help you when you are solving real-life problems.

What is morphology?

Morphology is branch of linguistics that studies how words can be structured and formed.

What are morphemes?

In linguistics, a morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit of a given language. The important part of morphology is morphemes, which are the basic unit of morphology.

Let's take an example. The word boy consists of single morpheme whereas boys consists of two morphemes; one is boy and the other morpheme -s

What is a stem?

The part of a word that an affix is attached to is called as stem. The word tie is root whereas Untie is stem.

Now, let's understand morphological analysis.

What is morphological analysis?

Morphological analysis is defined as grammatical analysis of how words are formed by using morphemes, which are the minimum unit of meaning.

Generally, morphemes are affixes...
