Morphology in English
Keywords:
adverb phrases, grammatical units, morphemes, morphological process, morphology, prepositional phrases, standard language, syntactic structure, word formationAbstract
This study aims to understand and explain the meaning of morphology in English in general. In addition, this research is also intended to understand and explain the meaning of morpheme and various morphemes in English. Morphology is the study of word structure. Morphology is a branch of linguistics that identifies the basic units of language as grammatical units. As in English, morphology is known as the science that studies word formation. The intricacies of morphemes and words in this section will be discussed in detail.
