Abstract

Morphology is the study of morphemes which are the smallest significant units of grammar. There are two kinds of morphology: derivational and inflectional morphology. Derivational morphology is related to affixes such as suffixes, infixes, prefixes, ablaut and reduplication, meanwhile inflectional morphology is related to plural, possessive, past time, progressive, and comparative and superlative.
