Title: Re: What is the difference between phonology and morphology? Phonemes and morphemes? Post by: habiba on Feb 8, 2022 Phonology can be described as the study of language sounds (rules for a language about how words can be made; what combinations of the sounds can be made in a particular language, etc.), whereas Morphology can be defined as the study of patterns or rules of word formation.
Morphology focuses on morphemes; morphemes are things like prefixes, suffixes and base words, which are defined as the smallest meaningful units of meaning. Hope that helps! |
