Morphology is the study of how linguistic signs such as sounds and meanings are combined through rules and processes. It examines how signs undergo changes like prefixes being added to change meanings, such as "un" plus "lock" becoming "unlock". Morphology analyzes the mental lexicon of linguistic signs and the rules that govern how they are structured and combined.
