Morphology (Class V-A, V-B & V-C)

This course concerns with a linguistics branch which studies the internal structure of words and the relationship among the words. It deals with the analysis and examination of meaningful units of forms which make up words and sentences (excluding phrases). The smallest meaningful units are called morphemes. Some basic conceptual questions this course is dealing with include:
1. What are words and how are they formed?
2. How are complex words built up from simpler parts?
3. What are the basic building blocks in the formation of complex words?
4. What processes do these complex words undergo?
5. How is the meaning of a complex word related to the meaning of its parts and its entire structure in which it is used?
6. How are individual words related to other words of the language?
