Mono Syntax - Morphology 2 flac album

Morphology is concerned with the study of word forms. A word is best defined in terms of internal stability (is it further divisible?) and external mobility (can it be moved to a different position in a sentence?). A morpheme is the smallest unit which carries meaning. An allomorph is a non-distinctive realisation of a morpheme. Morphology can further be divided into inflectional (concerned with the endings put on words) and derivational (involves the formation of new words). The basic unit is the sentence which minimally consists of a main clause (containing at least a subject and predicate). Nouns and verbs are the major categories and combine with various others, such as adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, etc. to form more complex sentences.

It analyzes the structure of words and parts of words, such as stems, root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Morphology also looks at parts of speech, intonation and stress, and the ways context can change a word's pronunciation and meaning.

Morphology studies paradigmatic relations of words, Syntax studies syntagmatic relations of words and paradigmatic relations of sentences.

They are studied respectively by two branches of grammar – morphology and syntax. The subject matter of morphology is the grammatical classes and groups of words, their grammatical categories and systems of forms (paradigms) in which these categories actually exist. Syntax examines the ways in which words may be combined and the relationships that exist between the words in combination. Grammatical paradigms express various grammatical categories. The minimal paradigm consists of two form-stages. This kind of paradigm we see, for instance, in the expression of the category of number. A grammatical category is a unit of grammar based on a morphological opposition of grammatical meanings presented in grammatical forms. The correlated elements (members) of the opposition must possess two types of features: common features and differential features.
