Morphology studies the internal structure of words, focusing on morphemes and their combinations to create meaningful terms. Each language has specific rules governing word formation, leading to consistent structures; for instance, English irregular verbs like 'ran' deviate from standard patterns. Syntax expands this concept by examining how these words are arranged into coherent phrases and sentences according to linguistic rules that facilitate effective communication. The relationship between morphology and syntax can be likened to constructing a building: morphology provides the raw materials (words), while syntax organizes them into stable structures (sentences). Understanding this interplay is crucial in grasping how languages function cohesively.
