Understanding how words are formed and how they function within language is a cornerstone of linguistic inquiry. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to morphology, the branch of linguistics that examines the internal structure of words and the processes by which they are created. Beginning with the fundamentals of morphemes and affixation, the chapters guide readers through derivation, inflection, and compounding, before moving into more advanced topics such as reduplication, blending, and morphological typology across languages. By integrating both descriptive and analytical perspectives, the text provides a solid foundation for exploring the productivity, constraints, and ambiguities that characterize morphological systems. A distinctive feature of this volume is its practical orientation. With a dedicated chapter on the applications of morphology in language learning and teaching, as well as a hands-on guide to conducting morphological analysis, this book equips students, educators, and researchers with both theoretical insight and methodological skills. Clear in structure and broad in scope, The Structure of Words: A Morphological Perspective is designed for undergraduate and graduate students of linguistics, applied linguistics, and language education, as well as for educators and researchers who seek to deepen their understanding of word formation. It serves both as an accessible introduction and as a valuable reference for further study.
