INFLUENCE OF MORPHOLOGICAL COGNIZANCE ON SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Abstract
The study investigates the influence of morphology on children's English language learning, focussing on prefixes, suffixes, word formation and morphological awareness. The statistical analysis shows the relationship between morphological knowledge and language learning. The study emphasises the importance of morphological education for understanding word structure and development, especially for young learners. The study recommends targeted teaching techniques and intervention procedures for improved language development.
