(1)Sapir's writing mostly dealt with descriptive issues in North American native languages.

According to Sapir's writings, a sentence's grammatical structure greatly affects how it is


understood or received by the reader. Therefore, the necessary grammatical structures must be
specified apart from the specific lexical (and morphological) elements that will give rise to them.
In some country, grammar is actually an issue, as long as you can express yourself and the person
you are talking with can understand you then its fine. 2) The morphological theory of René de
Saussure’s works enunciates categorically the view that all morphological elements, roots and
affixes alike, constitute parallel atomic sound-meaning pairings. The historical significance of René
de Saussure's writings on the nature of word formation comes from the fact that they express one
of the two poles that would come to dominate discussion of this topic within the field at the
outset. René used the word, with the two parts being parallel simple associations between sound
and meaning, violoniste, or "violinist," is analyzed as a compound made up of two equally basic
units that are both nouns: violon, or "violin," and -iste, or "person whose profession or habitual
occupation is characterized by the root to which it is attached." René is arguing that words and
their derivatives can have two distinct, equal meanings. (3)On the other hand, his brother,
Ferdinand de Saussure, opposed his work. Ferdinand points out that a suffix in a derived word does
not serve as a minimal sign in and of itself; rather, it derives its importance from the relationship
between words with comparable forms. According to Ferdinand, a suffix in a derived word has its
own significance and a connection to the term, but it does not have a similar meaning. René and
Ferdinand argues a lot about suffixes that are very helpful for English majors. (4)According to
Universal Grammar, individuals possess the natural ability to use proper grammar. Grammatical
rules, in Chomsky's view, are hardwired into our brains from birth and are part of who we are.
Chomsky proposed that this ability allows us to adopt any language. According to his view, a child
can learn a language without being explicitly taught since they already possess the skills necessary
to integrate it into their daily lives. But there are three factors that are involved here: The genetic
endowment limits the number of languages we can learn; the external data that is translated into
experience and used to choose one language over another within a certain range is another
influence; and general principles that are not related to the faculty of language. This theory
actually help a lot of people who wants to teach their children a language they want. They exposed
their child in that specific language by watching kids shows that uses that language and it really
works.
Morphology and syntax have been found to play important roles in reading comprehension, the
formation of English words, language learning, and the formation of phrases, clauses, and
sentences; clear and affective communication; and literature in English. Morphology is essential in
research. It helps the researcher in selecting the appropriate words. It clarifies and simplifies the
study or research because selecting the right word is critical and can affect the grammatical
structure of the sentence. Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words, as we all
know. Having said that, we can conclude that studying it will teach us to dig deep into every word
we come across, which is necessary in research to make the research efficient and clear to the
readers. Morphology will help us improve our language skills. This will have a significant impact on
our abilities in all areas where we need to use the English language, including research.
