Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book introduces the study of English morphology, the branch of linguistics concerned with the structure
and formation of words. It explores how morphemes—the smallest units of meaning—combine to create words,
examining processes such as inflection, derivation, and compounding. The text provides clear explanations and
practical examples to illustrate how word structure contributes to meaning, grammar, and vocabulary growth in English.
Designed for beginners, it offers a foundation for further study in linguistics, language teaching, and applied language research.
