Assalamu’alaikum wr.wb Good day my readers, how are you today? I hope you’re fine. Okay, now I wanna share to you about a pieces of Linguistics that is Morphology.      There are some definitions about Morphology according from experts and website that I search in the google, like: 1.     Susan Dostert : Morphology comes from a Greek word meaning ‘shape’ or ‘form’ and is used in linguistics to denote the study of words, both with regard to their internal structure and their combination or formation to form new or larger units. 2.     Morphology relates to words structure through units of meaning (morphemes).
