Example
- Morphology cannot help us in resolving homographies; groups of words must be considered for this and so we are brought to consider the syntax of Arabic before we have quite finished with morphology in the ordinary sense. (Brown, 1962)
- Verb morphology is more complex and productive than noun morphology. (Singh, 2012)
