How Language Works | How Morphology Works

Sentences are made up of words. But what are words made up of? In this episode we’re breaking words down by talking about something called morphology. In this short episode led by your trusty language guide Emily (linguist, PhD), you’ll learn the 6 things you need to know about morphology. For example you’ll get a quick understanding of what morphology is, the different kinds of morphemes that exist, and why the ‘ing’ in ‘king’ isn’t the same as the ‘ing’ in ‘traveling.’
