This course explores the interrelationship between morphology, phonology, and syntax as major components of linguistic structure. It examines how word formation processes interact with sound patterns and sentence structure in language. Students will investigate the influence of phonological rules on morphological forms, the role of morphology in syntactic constructions, and the ways in which these linguistic levels work together to create meaningful communication. The course covers topics such as morphophonemics, word structure, grammatical categories, agreement systems, and the interface between words and sentences. Through theoretical analysis and practical examples, learners will develop a deeper understanding of how linguistic components are interconnected and how they contribute to the organization and interpretation of language.
