    Morphology is the study of word formation and the internal structure of words. It examines how words are built up from smaller units of meaning called morphemes. A word is defined as the smallest free form in a language that can stand alone. Studying morphology is important as it increases linguistic awareness and allows students to better understand word structures, helping to build vocabulary knowledge.

    What is Morphology?

    oFromkin & Rodman said, morphology is the study of word


    formation and internal structure of words (1988).

    oO’Grady stated that morphology is the systems of categories


    and rules involved in word formation and interpretation (2016)
    Scope of morphology
    • The main idea of morphology is as a component of
    grammar that deals with the internal structure of words
    and also relates to the internal structure of complex
    words.
    What is a word?

    • O’Grady (2016) defines a “word” as the smallest free


    form in a language.

    • Free form means that an element can occur only by


    itself.
    For example:
    1. The birds left.

    2. Speaker A: What are those things in the tree?


    Speaker B: Birds
    Why do we need to learn
    morphology?
    • Morphology plays an important role in
    linguistics awareness.

    • By studying morphology, students could


    increase the vocabulary knowledge since
    students could comprehend the word structure.
