A Detail Note On Morphology and Syntax 9th
Phil P-97
Morphology and syntax contribute to the study of linguistics through the analyzing of
words and sentences.
Although they are both involved with the influence of words in language, one study
looks at the word as its model to be studied, while the other looks at studying the
words within a sentence and how their order and structure influence the meaning of
the sentence.
The study of syntax involves knowing the different parts of speech to understand the
role that the word or words may be contributing to the sentence. Words can be used
as nouns, verbs, adjectives and other parts of speech. Each individual word can be
studied individually to understand how a suffix or prefix or the use of a word in a
different context can change the meaning of the word.
Morphology and syntax are tools used by the linguist to understand the way a
language works. Different languages have their own specific word order and the
linguist studies these differences within the structure of syntax and morphology.
