The lmportance of Morphological Analysis

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This paper seeks to clarify the importance of morphology. Through this paper, the researchers provide an explanation of the morphological units (morphemes), their types, and the internal structures of vocabulary.

 The researchers also provide an explanation of inflectional and derivational morphology and their important role in developing the learner’s vocabulary and increasing his awareness of the correct and effective use of vocabulary.

 Morphology is the study of a word and its internal structure (suffixes and prefixes) as well as word formation. Morphological awareness is one of the types of linguistic awareness that enables us to understand the structure of a word and the best way to use it correctly.

This morphological awareness helps to increase linguistic competence, understanding vocabulary and recognize meaning easily by displaying (suffixes) and (prefixes) associated with words. Mastering vocabulary well helps the student increase his proficiency in using these vocabulary effectively, in addition to increasing his ability to correctly guess their meanings.
